A point is a unit of length that can be used to measure the distance between two lines of text. Font sizes are often stated in points. Capitol letters measure two thirds of the stated point size, as shown in the diagram for a font size of 48 points. There are 72 points in 1 inch. What point size produces capitol letters that are 1/2 inches tall?

Answer: 3/5
Step-by-step explanation: To find the reciprocal of 1 and 2/3, we first need to convert 1 and 2/3 to an improper fraction.
To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply the denominator times the whole number, then add the numerator.
So here, we multiply the denominator, 3, times the whole number, 1, then we add the numerator. So we have (3 x 1) + 2 or 3 + 2 which is 5.
Now we put our new number over our old denominator and we get 5/3.
However, we're not done yet. We still need to find the reciprocal.
The reciprocal describes a fraction so when we're asked to find the reciprocal of 5/3, we want to switch the numerator and denominator.
So if we switch 5/3, we get the proper fraction 3/5.
Therefore, the mixed number 1 and 2/3 is equivalent to the improper fraction 5/3, and if we switch the top and bottom numbers, we get 3/5.
