What is a reciprocal?

The inverse of a number
The ratio between two numbers
The product of two numbers
A fraction

The correct answer is: The inverse of a number

A reciprocal is the inverse of a number, meaning it is the number that, when multiplied with the other number, equals 1. Option B is incorrect because the ratio between two numbers can be any number, not just the inverse. Option C is incorrect because the product of two numbers is the result of multiplying them together, not their inverse. Option D is incorrect because a fraction can have any numerator and denominator, it does not have to be the inverse of a number.
