Question

what property of multiplication is used in this equation

4/6(6/6)=4/6

a) inverse property

b) identity property

c) distributive property

d) associative property

 

Answer 1

The answer is b) identity property. The identity property of multiplication states that the product of 1 and any number is the number itself.

In this problem, the fraction inside the parentheses (6/6) is equal to 1. Therefore, multiplying 4/6 times 1 is equal to 4/6. This is an example of the identity property of multiplication.
