Question

BRAINLIEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER. How are reciprocals used in division with rational numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

When dividing rational numbers, multiply by the "right" reciprocal.

The reciprocal means to take the reciprocal of the fraction on the right-hand side of the division operator.

For example:

if you have 5, the reciprocal will be the oppisite, so you will change where the 5 goes, and it will look like this:

1/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Another example is if you have 5/7 the reciprocal will be 7/5.

So all you're doing is changing the numbers (Swapping them.)
