The opposite and reciprocal of -7/272 is 2/727.

Explanation:

With a number x, the reciprocal is known as 1/x1x.
So we have our x = -7/272, our reciprocal 1/x1x => 1/(-7/2)172 => -2/727.
Since it had asked to be opposite, we put a negative sign in front:
-(-2/7)(27) => 2/727.
Since it had asked for the opposite and reciprocal of -7/272, we are done, 2/727.
