Question

Compare and contrast the multiplication rules for 1 and 0 with the division rules for 1 and 0 (This is my first time on this website :D)

Answer 1

The multiplication rule for 1 and 0 is that any number multiplied by 1 is equal to the same number, while any number multiplied by 0 is always 0. The division rule for 1 is that any number divided by 1 is equal to the same number, while division by 0 is undefined.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplication rules for 1 and 0 are as follows:

1. When any number is multiplied by 1, the result is the same number. For example, 5 x 1 = 5.
2. When any number is multiplied by 0, the result is always 0. For example, 10 x 0 = 0.

The division rules for 1 and 0 are as follows:

1. When any number is divided by 1, the result is the same number. For example, 6 ÷ 1 = 6.
2. When 0 is divided by any number (except 0), the result is always 0. For example, 0 ÷ 5 = 0.
3. When any number (except 0) is divided by 0, the result is undefined. Division by 0 is not possible.

Answer 2

when you multiply something with 1, that number stays the same ( 5x1=5)

when you divide something by 1, that number again stays the same because 1 goes into it that many times. ( 7/1=7)




when you multiply something by 0, it doesn't matter what number, but that number becomes 0. (4x0=0)

when you divide something by zero, it doesn't matter what number it is, it is "undefined" (5/0=undefined(not a number))


but when you have 0/5 (not 5/0) it becomes 0, just like multiplication.

when you have 1/5 (not 5/1) it becomes a decimal, like 0.2. (1/5=0.2)

hope this helped :)
