To find the reciprocal of each of the given fractions and classify them as proper fractions, improper fractions, or whole numbers, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the reciprocal of each fraction. The reciprocal of a fraction \( \frac{a}{b} \) is \( \frac{b}{a} \). ### Step 2: Classify the reciprocals. - **Proper Fraction**: A fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator (e.g., \( \frac{a}{b} \) where \( a < b \)). - **Improper Fraction**: A fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator (e.g., \( \frac{a}{b} \) where \( a \geq b \)). ...
