P + r = 2.50
r = p + 1
p + p + 1 = 2.50
2p + 1 = 2.50
2p = 2.50 - 1
2p = 1.50
p = 1.50/2
p = 0.75 <=== pencil cost 75 cents
r = p + 1
r = 0.75 + 1
r = 1.75 .....ruler cost 1.75
8yards=24ft
as a fraction=3/24
simplest form=1/8
hope this helps
Answer:
1/5

5/1 = 5
Since reciprocal is asking you to flip 5/1 meaning numerator becomes denominator and vice versa you end up with 1/5 being the reciprocal of 5
