What is the reciprocal of 3?

As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of knowing how to work with fractions.  Reciprocal is a term that is involved with fractions.  A few of the students I tutored in my ASVAB prep course told me that they saw questions on reciprocals on the ASVAB.  They were so happy to see such an easy question on the exam.  This is a case where knowing the vocabulary terms in math is important.  Once you know what the term reciprocal means, it is an easy problem to solve.  Do you know what reciprocal means?  I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
