Reciprocal of a number x is written as 1/x.
Similarly Reciprocal of a fraction x/y is written as y/x. Just interchanging the numerator and denominator.
So in the given problem,
The reciprocal of 2/12 is 12/2
12/2 is nothing but 6.
So the reciprocal of 2/12 is 6.
Hope you can understand this explaination.
