Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = 1/5

6= 1/6

1/6= 6/1 (or just 6)

5/6= 6/5

Do you see the pattern?

Every number has a reciprocal except for 0. There is nothing you can multiply by 0 to create a product of 1, so it has no reciprocal.

Answer:

1/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

When referring to a reciprocal, it basically means taking the numerator and the denominator and flipping them.

For example, take 4/5. The reciprocal of 4/5 would be 5/4.

Now, take 5. As a fraction, it would look like 5/1. If you were to flip it, it would be 1/5.

Therefore, the reciprocal of 5 is 1/5.

mamaluj [8]

If the equilibrium is such that only 12000 units are sold for $27, then the total earnings from the given scenario is $324,000. The supply equation would then be,
supply: 324000 = 6p ; p = 324000/6 = 54000
demand: 324000 = 69p ; p = 324000/69 = 4695.65 ≈ 4696
