No it is not. For example the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2 - 1.5 is not an integer since it is 1 1/2

That is false.
To get the reciprocal of a number, we divide 1 by the number.
We can think of a whole number as being "number/1", so the reciprocal is just like "flipping it over"
For Fractions, Flip the Whole Fraction Over

Example: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.
