Question

Select the postulate that is illustrated for the real numbers.
5•1=5

Answer 1

Multiplication Identity

Answer 2

Multiplication identity

Explanation:

We are given that

`5\cdot 1=5`

We have to find which property of real number is used in given expression.

Multiplication identity: It is defined as the number by which multiply any number and get itself.

`a\cdot 1=1\cdot a=a`

Then, 1 is multiplication identity.

`5\cdot 1=5`

When we are multiplying 5 with 1 then we get 5.

Therefore, 1 is multiplication identity.

Hence, multiplication property of real numbers is used in given expression.
