Find the reciprocal of each of the following fractions.
(i) $\frac{5}{8}$
(ii) $\frac{8}{7}$
(iii) $\frac{13}{7}$
(iv) $\frac{3}{4}$
Given :
The given fractions are $\frac{5}{8}, \frac{8}{7}, \frac{13}{7}, \frac{3}{4}$
To do :
We have to find the reciprocal of the given fractions.
Solution :
Reciprocal of the fraction $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{b}{a}$
(i) $\frac{5}{8}$
Reciprocal of the fraction $\frac{5}{8}$ is $\frac{8}{5}$
(ii) $\frac{8}{7}$
Reciprocal of the fraction $\frac{8}{7}$ is $\frac{7}{8}$
(iii) $\frac{13}{7}$
Reciprocal of the fraction $\frac{13}{7}$ is $\frac{7}{13}$
(iv) $\frac{3}{4}$
Reciprocal of the fraction $\frac{3}{4}$ is $\frac{4}{3}$
