First of all, you know that a fraction is smaller than 1 if the top number is smaller than the bottom. It works both ways, meaning that if the top number is larger than the bottom number, the fraction is greater than 1.
So, for example, a fraction less than 1 can be expressed as
(x-1)/x
because the top number is smaller than the bottom number.
The reciprocal can be found by flipping the top and the bottom, so the reciprocal is
x/(x-1)
x is always greater than x-1, so in the reciprocal, the top number will be larger than the bottom number. That means it will always be greater than 1.
Hope this helps!

Using a calculator, you should find that
-2 & 4/5 = -(2 + 4/5) = -(2+0.8) = -2.8
-31/5 = -6.2
So the unknown number is between -6.2 and -2.8
<h3>Possible whole number answers could be: -6, -5, -4, -3, or -2</h3>
If your teacher allows decimal answers, then there are infinitely many possible ways to answer.
First find the difference in prices...
475 - 275 = 200 so the price went down 200 dollars. No we need to find what percentage of 475 is 200.
475 × x = 200
x = 200/475
x = .4211
Now convert to percentage by multiplying by 100 (move decimal 2 places to the right)
.4211 = 42.11%
It is a 42.11% price reduction.
