Answer:

Multiplicative inverse property

Explanation:

By looking at steps 2 and 3, we can see that
(1)/(6) and
6 were multiplied to make
1. Whenever terms are multiplied by their reciprocal - in this case, 6 is multiplied by
(1)/(6) - to get
1, then the multiplicative inverse property was applied.
