reciprocal of any number a, is given by 1/a

let a = 6/5, and let b = 1/a, the reciprocal of a

then b = 1/a = 1/(6/5)
multiply both sides by 6/5:

b x(6/5) =1

which implies b = 5/6

5/6 is the reciprocal. You just have to flip the numbers.

1 / (6/5) = 5/6. Just switch the numerator and denominator.
