Step-by-step solution for: Reciprocals Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
Let's solve the problem step by step.
The task is to write the reciprocals of the given fractions.
The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by flipping the numerator and the denominator. For example:
- The reciprocal of $ \frac{a}{b} $ is $ \frac{b}{a} $.
- For a whole number like 12, we can write it as $ \frac{12}{1} $, so its reciprocal is $ \frac{1}{12} $.
- The reciprocal of 1 is $ \frac{1}{1} = 1 $.

Now, let’s go through each problem:
---
1) $ \frac{5}{12} $ → $ \frac{12}{5} $
2) $ \frac{14}{36} $ → $ \frac{36}{14} $ → Simplify: $ \frac{18}{7} $
*(Note: You can simplify if needed, but unless asked, just flipping is fine.)*
3) $ \frac{21}{196} $ → $ \frac{196}{21} $
4) $ \frac{12}{45} $ → $ \frac{45}{12} $ → Simplify: $ \frac{15}{4} $
5) $ 8 $ → $ \frac{8}{1} $ → $ \frac{1}{8} $
6) $ \frac{43}{155} $ → $ \frac{155}{43} $
7) $ \frac{13}{25} $ → $ \frac{25}{13} $

13) $ \frac{17}{55} $ → $ \frac{55}{17} $
14) $ \frac{125}{180} $ → $ \frac{180}{125} $ → Simplify: $ \frac{36}{25} $
15) $ \frac{18}{23} $ → $ \frac{23}{18} $
16) $ \frac{9}{63} $ → $ \frac{63}{9} $ → Simplify: $ \frac{7}{1} = 7 $
17) $ \frac{63}{96} $ → $ \frac{96}{63} $ → Simplify: $ \frac{32}{21} $
18) $ \frac{36}{255} $ → $ \frac{255}{36} $ → Simplify: $ \frac{85}{12} $
19) $ 12 $ → $ \frac{1}{12} $
20) $ \frac{17}{108} $ → $ \frac{108}{17} $

Understanding the Task
The task is to write the reciprocals of the given fractions.
The reciprocal of a fraction is obtained by flipping the numerator and the denominator. For example:
- The reciprocal of $ \frac{a}{b} $ is $ \frac{b}{a} $.
- For a whole number like 12, we can write it as $ \frac{12}{1} $, so its reciprocal is $ \frac{1}{12} $.
- The reciprocal of 1 is $ \frac{1}{1} = 1 $.
