Find the reciprocal of 3/4

  1. 3/4

  2. 4/3

  3. 4/7

  4. 7/4

The correct answer is: 4/3

To find the reciprocal of a fraction, we need to flip the numerator and denominator. In this case, the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. Option A is the same fraction as given, so it cannot be the reciprocal. Options C and D have different numerators and denominators, so they are also incorrect. It might be helpful to convert the given fraction to an improper fraction (ex 3/4 = 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75) or a decimal (ex: 3/4 = 0.75) before finding the reciprocal.
