Question

What is the multiplicative identity of -12/13

Answer 1

Answer:

The number '1' is called the 'multiplicative identity' of a number '-12/13' because it does not change the number '-12/13' after getting multiplied by it.

Therefore, option (B) is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when a number let say 'n' get multiplied by '1', it remains unchanged.

i.e.

• n × 1 = n

• 1 × n = n

The number '1' is called the 'multiplicative identity' of a number 'n' because it does not change the number 'n' after getting multiplied by it.

Given the number

-12/13

Multiply the number '-12/13' by '1'.

i.e.

-12/13 × 1 = -12/13

1 × -12/13 = -12/13

Thus, the number '1' is called the 'multiplicative identity' of a number '-12/13' because it does not change the number '-12/13' after getting multiplied by it.

Therefore, option (B) is true.
