Answer:

5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the reciprocal you have to make the fraction a mixed number by multiplying the denominator by the whole number then adding the numerator, in this case it would give you 16/5. Since the reciprocal is the number that you multiply to get one, if you switch the denominator and the numerator, you get 5/16.

You can check your work by multiplying the numbers together, if it equals one, your reciprocal is correct, if not, then you may have to do it again.

The cost CC (in dollars) of making nn watches is represented by C=15n+85C=15n+85. How many watches are made when the cost is $38

dangina [55]

$\bf \stackrel{cost}{C}=15\stackrel{watches}{n}+85\qquad \boxed{C=385}\qquad \stackrel{cost}{385}=15n+85
\\\\\\
380=15n\implies \cfrac{380}{15}=n\implies \cfrac{76}{3}=n\implies 25\frac{1}{3}=n$

so, 25 whole watches and hmmmm just the wristband of another maybe.
