Thank for sharing!
thanks a lot
Wait, I think I misread this the first time. "Fraction OF its reciprocal" means (5/6) / (6/5), right? Not the other way around?
omg thank you, I did reciprocal/number and got 36/25 and was so confused why it wasn't right lol
these wording ones always trip me up but once you set it up as a division it's like 10 seconds of work
got A pretty quick. the wording "of its reciprocal" basically tells you which one goes on top
because it's asking for a fraction OF the reciprocal, not equal to the reciprocal. different thing
thanks, helpful
What it tests
Your ability to convert between fractions, ratios, and decimals and to reason proportionally.
Common trap
Cross-multiplying incorrectly or mixing up the ratio parts — a part:part ratio is not a fraction of the whole.
