reciprocal...all that means is " flip " the fraction...so the reciprocal of 1/50 is 50/1 or just 50

Answer:

The reciprocal of 1/50 is 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a number is defined as

[tex]Number=\frac{p}{q}[/tex],

then the reciprocal of this number is

[tex]reciprocal=\frac{q}{p}[/tex]       .... (1)

The given number is

[tex]\frac{1}{50}[/tex]

Here p=1 and q=50.

Put p=1 and q=50 in equation (1) to find the reciprocal of the given number.

[tex]reciprocal=\frac{50}{1}=50[/tex]

Therefore the reciprocal of 1/50 is 50.
