To find the reciprocal of a fraction, you simply flip it.

If we convert 7 2/5 into a fraction, it becomes (7 * 5 + 2) / 5 = 37/5.

The reciprocal of 37/5 is 5/37.

If Samantha's mom cuts 2 peaches into slices that are 1/6 of a whole peach, we can find the total number of slices by dividing the whole peaches by the fraction representing each slice.

Since we have 2 peaches, we multiply 2 by the reciprocal of 1/6, which is 6/1 or simply 6.

Therefore, there are a total of 2 * 6 = 12 slices.
