we know that
The reciprocal of a number is \(1\) divided by the number
1) Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction
we know that
\(2\frac{5}{8}=\frac{(2*8+5)}{8} =\frac{21}{8}\)
2) Find the reciprocal
\(\frac{21}{8}\)
\(Reciprocal=1/(21/8)=\frac{8}{21}\)
therefore
the answer is
\(\frac{8}{21}\)
