Answer:

TAKEN FROM GOOGLE

Explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is the number that the initial number can be multiplied by to get the product 1. Therefore, the reciprocal of .8 is 1.25, since those two factors when multiplied together created a product of 1, or 1.000. The easiest way to find a reciprocal is to write the initial number as a fraction ( in this case, 8/10) and then "flip it" (making it 10/8) and simplifying. (10/8 = 1 and 1/4, or 1.25)
