The reciprocal of 0.8 or 8/10 is 10/8 as we have flipped the fraction. What is a reciprocal? When two terms multiplied together result in 1 we call them reciprocal of each other. The reciprocal of a is 1/a as if we have flipped the fraction. Or a×x = 1. x = 1/a. Given, we have to obtain the reciprocal of 0.8. Now 0.8 can be written as (0.8×10)/10 = 8/10. So reciprocal  8/10 is 10/8. learn more about reciprocal here : brainly.com/question/15590281 #SPJ2

We know that 0.8 is the same as 4/5. The reciprocal is basically a the denominator over the numerator. So in this case, the reciprocal of 0.8 would be 5/4
