Question

Which of these is a correct application of the Inverse Property of Multiplication? Select all correct answers.

A) 22 × (1/2) = 1
B) 22 × 1 = 22
C) (1/22) × 22 = 1
D) 22 × 0 = 0
E) 1 × 22 = 22

Answer 1

The Inverse Property of Multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by its inverse (reciprocal), the product is always equal to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Inverse Property of Multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by its inverse (reciprocal), the product is always equal to 1. So, the correct applications of the Inverse Property of Multiplication are:

1. A) 22 × (1/2) = 1 - Multiplying 22 by its reciprocal, which is 1/2, gives a product of 1.
2. C) (1/22) × 22 = 1 - Multiplying 1/22 by its reciprocal, which is 22, gives a product of 1.
