Answer:

1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The tenths place is the number to the exact right of the decimal, in this case it would be the 5. To round, you need to look to the number to the right of it, in this case it would be the 3.

There's this rule, there's also a rhyme, but I can't remember it atm, anyways it's 5 or higher you round up, 4 or lower you round down. So because it's a 3 you round down, which bascially means it stays the same.

What is the reciprocal of 6/5? A. 1 B. 1 1/5 C. 12/10 D. 5/6

The reciprocal of 6/5 is D. 5/6

Reciprocal simply means swapping the position of the numbers in the fraction. The numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator.

We need to get reciprocal of a fraction when division is performed.

For example: 2 ÷ 1/5

2 may be a whole number but in fraction form it is 2/1.

1st fraction = 2/1
2nd fraction = 1/5

In dividing fractions, the 1st step we need to do is to get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.

1/5 ⇒ 5/1

Then, we multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
2/1 * 5/1 = 10

So, 2 ÷ 1/5 = 10

The number is -13.

In order to find this, we first need to make each part of the statement into a mathematical statement.

Twice the difference of a number and 2.

2(x - 2)

Three times the sum of the number and 3

3(x + 3)

Now we can set them equal to each other and solve.
