Name the property of real numbers illustrated by the equation 5 x 1/5 = 1
a commutative property
b distributive property
c identity property
d inverse property

it is not the commutative property

Because the commutative property means that you can rearrange the order of a multiplication problem or an Addison problem

nor is it the distributive property

Because you are not distributing  

The correct option is D Inverse Property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided number.

5 × 1/5 = 1

Commutative property:

a + b  =  b + a

Distributive property:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Identity property of mltiplication:

2c × 1 = 2c

Inverse property of multiplication.

a × 1/a = 1

Here, we can see multiplication of 5 and 1/5 is 1. That is the inverse property of multiplication. According to it if a number is multiply by its reciprocal is equal to one.

We can say 1/5 is a reciprocal of 5.

So it is inverse property.

Hence, the correct option is D Inverse Property.

darn right!

steve kerr's sons name is let that skin in.

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
