AThe same number
BEqual to zero
CEqual to one
DTwice the number
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The same number
1. Consider multiplying any number by 1, such as (11)(1) or 1 x 42.
2. In both cases the value of the other number does not change.
3. The product of any number and 1 is the number itself, which is called the Identity Property of Multiplication.
4. The product is not 0, 1, or double the number, since multiplying by 1 never changes the original value.
