To find the reciprocal of a number or fraction, just flip the numerator and denominator. Whole numbers are always over 1. 

 2 = \frac{2}{1}

The reciprocal of \frac{2}{1} =  \frac{1}{2} or .5 (one-half)

The reciprocal of \frac{3}{8} =  \frac{8}{3}

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

8/19.

Explanation:

2 3/8 can be written as 1 + 1 + 3/8. Each whole number 1 can then be written as a fraction, 8/8:

8/8 + 8/8 + 3/8 = 16/8 + 3/8 = 19/8

The reciprocal is found by flipping the fraction; this makes it 8/19.

What is the solution for the following system of equations?<br><br>5x + 7y = 3<br><br>2x + 3y = 1
spayn [35]
<span>A) 5x + 7y = 3
B) 2x + 3y = 1

Multiplying Equation B by -2.5
</span><span>B) -5x -7.5y = -2.5 Then adding this to Equation A)
A) 5x + 7y = 3</span>

-.5y  = .5
y = -1

Since
<span>2x + 3y = 1 then
2x -3 = 1
then x = 2
