Identifying the Reciprocal for System Efficiency Ratios

A systems architect is evaluating the relative data transfer efficiency of two server configurations using the following expression:

3n2n2−4n÷9n2−45nn2−7n+10\frac{3n^2}{n^2-4n} \div \frac{9n^2-45n}{n^2-7n+10}

To begin simplifying this comparison, the architect must rewrite the division as multiplication by the reciprocal of the divisor. What is the reciprocal of the second expression (the divisor)?
