other?

Answer: No

4/12 is equal to 1/3

If you make 1/3 into a decimal it would be 0.3

3 is the opposite of -3 such as - 3/10 to 3/10

Sp they are not opposite reciprocals.

Good evening ,

Answer:

No

Explanation:

4/12 × (-3) = 1/3 × (-3) = (-3)/3 = -1

then 4/12 × (-3) ≠ 1

Therefore 4/12 and -3 are not opposite reciprocals of each.
