Answer:

The multiplicative identity shows us that any time you multiply something by the number 1, the result would be what you started with.

Ex: 1(m) or 1 x m.

The reason for thusbis that when you are multiplying you are representing groups of something, so 1 group of anything or m, would just be that anything or m in this case!Explanation:
