Answer:

Inverse Property of Multiplication

Explanation:

Inverse Property of Multiplication

The product of a number and its reciprocal is always 1.

The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by the number.

Therefore, the reciprocal of a rational number is its inverse (swap the numerator and denominator).

For example:


\textsf{The reciprocal of 6 is}\:\:\sf (1)/(6)


\implies \sf 6 * (1)/(6)=(6 * 1)/(6)=(\diagup\!\!\!\!6 * 1)/(\diagup\!\!\!\!6)=1


\sf \textsf{The reciprocal of }\:(3)/(4) \sf \:\:is\:\:\sf (4)/(3)


\sf \implies (3)/(4) * (4)/(3)=(3 * 4)/(4 * 3)=(12)/(12)=1
