Question

Write a mixed number between 4 and 5, and then write its reciprocal.

Answer 1

Answer:

$4\frac{1}{2}$ and it's reciprocal is $\frac{2}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

4.5 is a number in between 4 and 5, as a fraction it is written as $4\frac{1}{2}$. To get the reciprocal you need to change it to an improper fraction so it becomes $\frac{9}{2}$. The reciprocal will be 1 ÷ $\frac{9}{2}$. This literally means the number will just invert and become $\frac{2}{9}$
