How do i find the reciprocal of the fractions 2/3 and 8/3

To find the reciprocal of a number, just flip the numerator and the denominator around.

A. The reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2.

C. Firstly, convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator to that product. After that, put the quantity on the numerator. In this case, 6 x 6 = 36 and 36 + 1 = 37, so our improper fraction is 37/6. Next, just flip the numerator and denominator around, and your reciprocal is 6/37.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
