How do you write the reciprocal number of 7/2?

Answer 1

The reciprocal of #7/2# is #2/7#.

A reciprocal of a fraction #a/b# is created by changing places of numerator and denominator (it can only be done if the numerator of the original fraction #a# is different from zero), so it is #b/a#.

So in the given example the reciprocal of #7/2# is #2/7#.
