​?
A.
Commutative
B.
Identity
C.
Inverse
D.
Associative
E.
Distributive

Answer 1

The equation \( 3.13 \times \frac{1}{3.13} = 1 \) illustrates the **Inverse Property**. This property states that for any non-zero number \( a \), the product of \( a \) and its multiplicative inverse (or reciprocal) \( \frac{1}{a} \) is equal to 1.

So the correct answer is:

**C. Inverse**
