The inverse property of multiplication means when you multiply the number with its multiplicative inverse the answer must be equal to 1

Ex:


(a)/(b)*(b)/(a)=1

Where a/b and b/a are multiplicative inverses to each other

Then to find the correct answer, look for the multiplication between a number and its multiplicative inverse and the answer should be 1

From the given picture

22 has a multiplicative inverse 1/22, then


22*(1)/(22)=1\rightarrow correct

1/22 has a multiplicative inverse 22, then


(1)/(22)*22=1\rightarrow correct

The answers are

1st and 3rd choices
