First of all, you know that a fraction is smaller than 1 if the top number is smaller than the bottom. It works both ways, meaning that if the top number is larger than the bottom number, the fraction is greater than 1.
So, for example, a fraction less than 1 can be expressed as
(x-1)/x
because the top number is smaller than the bottom number.
The reciprocal can be found by flipping the top and the bottom, so the reciprocal is
x/(x-1)
x is always greater than x-1, so in the reciprocal, the top number will be larger than the bottom number. That means it will always be greater than 1.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
2x + 5y = 4.70
Step-by-step explanation:
Rider ordered 2 hot dogs and 5 hush puppies. His total was $4.70. Write an equation in standard form for this relation, using
From the above question, note that
x = cost of a hot dog
y = cost of a hush puppy.
Our Standard Equation is given as
2 × x + 5 × y= $4.70
2x + 5y = 4.70
I assume it's 43 <em>thousand</em> and 335, not 43 <em>point</em> 335.
The first 3 from the right is for tens, the second is 10 times stronger because it's for hundreds and the fourth is again 10 times stronger because it's for thousands. Hopefully that's what you meant :)
