Answer:we multiply by the reciprocal of a fraction when completing a division problem because it is a rule in mathematics that when you divide two fraction, you change the division sign to multiplication and flip the fraction at the right of the multiplication sign.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example if you have 4÷ 1/2. It basically means how many 1/2 can one get in 4. And the answers is 8.

Therefore multiplying by the reciprocal of a fraction when completing a division problem is a short cut method that has been tested and proven to be correct.

Aliun [14]
Given:
2 walls - 14ft by 9ft
2 walls - 20ft by 9ft

Wall 1 & 2 = 14ft * 9ft = 126 ft² x 2 = 252 ft²
Wall 3 & 4 = 20ft * 9ft = 180 ft² x 2 = 360 ft²

Total area = 252 ft² + 360 ft² = 612 ft²

Cost of 1 single roll: $20
612 ft² ÷ 18 ft² = 34 rolls * $20 = $680

Cost of double roll: $40
612 ft² ÷ 54 ft² = 11.33 rolls ⇒ 12 double rolls
12 * $40 = $480

If Christopher opts for 1 single roll of wallpaper, he'll spend $680.
If he opts for double roll of wallpaper, he'll spend $480.

Double roll of wallpaper is the cheaper option. He'll save $200 if he'll buy the double roll of wallpaper.
