Answer: n= 32

Jakes started with 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the initial integer.

Step 1: take the reciprocal.

Reciprocal of n = 1/n

Step 2: double the number obtained in step 1

= 2×1/n = 2/n

Step 3: take the reciprocal of the number obtained in step 2.

Reciprocal of 2/n = n/2

Since he ended up with 16

n/2 = 16

n = 2×16 = 32
