Question

Inverse property multiplication number a * multiplicative inverse 1/a = 1 multiply a number by its reciprocal to equal 1 your turn right an example

Answer 1

Sure! Let's take the number 5 as an example.

The multiplicative inverse (or reciprocal) of 5 is \( \frac{1}{5} \).

Now, when we multiply the number by its multiplicative inverse, we have:

\[
5 \times \frac{1}{5} = 1
\]

This demonstrates the inverse property of multiplication, where multiplying a number by its reciprocal yields 1.
