Its hard but you can look it up on google
Let's see, an example of a reciprocal of a fraction less than 1 would be something like this: 1/8, after the reciprocal it will become 8/1.
8/1 equals 8 therefore is larger than 1.
This will always happen because as long as the denominator(the bottom) is larger than the numerator, the reciprocal(flipping the numbers) will make it larger than 1.
Here are some examples of reciprocals: 1/2 becomes 2/1. 1/3 becomes 3/1. 1/4 becomes 4/1. Just swap the two numbers and the number that it becomes will be automatically larger than 1.
Ez so person 1 and person 2 are in a bike race. person 1 starts at the 10 ft line and travels 4 ft per second. person 2 starts at 15 ft line but travels 3 ft per second.
