Question

Select the postulate that is illustrated for the real numbers. 5•1=5

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiplication identity

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$5\cdot 1=5$

We have to find which property of real number is used in given expression.

Multiplication identity: It is defined as the number by which multiply any number and get itself.

$a\cdot 1=1\cdot a=a$

Then, 1 is multiplication identity.

$5\cdot 1=5$

When we are multiplying 5 with 1 then we get 5.

Therefore,  1 is multiplication identity.

Hence, multiplication property of real numbers is used in given expression.
