Finding the Reciprocal WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

Practice finding and using the reciprocal with this worksheet.

Section A asks students to find the reciprocal of proper and improper fractions and mixed numbers. None of the common fractions needs simplifying.

Section B is as above; however the answers may need simplifying. This section also contains two questions where the reciprocal after fraction division is to be found.

Next up, section C demonstrates how we use the reciprocal to answer fraction division questions.

Finally, students combine their knowledge of fraction and decimal equivalence and find the reciprocal as in section D; they must find the reciprocal of 6 decimal numbers, including two recurring decimals.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
