Step-by-step explanation:

A division problem is shown below.  


\(4\frac{1}{3}\) is divided by \(5\frac{1}{6}\)

The mixed number  \(4\frac{1}{3}\)  could be represented in fraction as:

\(\dfrac{13}{3}\)

Also The mixed number  \(5\frac{1}{6}\)  could be represented in fraction as:

\(\dfrac{31}{6}\)

That means \(\dfrac{13}{3}\)  is divided by \(\dfrac{31}{6}\)

\(\dfrac{\dfrac{13}{3}}{\dfrac{31}6}}=\dfrac{26}{31}\)

Hence, the reciprocal of the fraction is \(\dfrac{31}{26}\).
