The multiplicative identity stats that you can multiply 1 by any number and the product is that number, so the number stays the same.
5/3 * 6/6 = 30/18
6/6 can be simplified to 1
30/18 can be simplified to 5/3
so:
5/3 * 1 = 5/3
which satisfies the multiplicative identity
Can someone please explain to me how they got this . I keep breaking my head using multiplicative identity
5/3 ×6/6=30/18

You can also check by just flat out multiplying both fractions together:
(5*6)/(3*6) = 30/18
(5*6)/(3*6) = 30/18
