BrerChicken,

Reciprocal is the fraction that, multiplied by the original, would give you 1. For example, the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2. If you multiply them you get 6/6, which is 1. It’s the same for 9/2 and 2/9. I always think of it is the “opposite fraction”, where you just flip the top and bottom numbers around.
