Reciprocals and Multiplicative Inverses
Find reciprocals of fractions, whole numbers, mixed numbers and negative rational numbers, and connect each reciprocal to a product of 1.

What reciprocal means
The reciprocal, or multiplicative inverse, of a non-zero number is the number that multiplies with it to make 1. For 3/5, the reciprocal is 5/3 because 3/5 x 5/3 = 1.
