My son is grade 4
his homework have question is :
when you multiply any number by 1,what is the product ?
Please help !!!!
The product is the other number.
1 * 2 = 2
1 * 5 = 5
1 * 10 = 10
lol wtf? 4th grade?
This is
Identity property of multiplication
states that the product of 1 and any number or variable is the number or variable itself. For example, 4 × 1 = 4, - 11 × 1 = - 11,
The teacher is probably trying to help them learn this particular property.
You are a great parent by the way!!!
the product of any number and one is the number being multiplied by one for example 1*1=1
2*1=2
3*1=3
4*1=4
5*1=5
Sure, I can help you with that!
To understand what happens when you multiply any number by 1, you need to know the concept of multiplication. Multiplication is a mathematical operation where you combine equal groups to find the total number of objects.
When you multiply any number by 1, the product is always equal to that number itself. This is because 1 is called the "multiplicative identity," meaning that any number multiplied by 1 will preserve its value.
To explain it to your son, you can use some examples to illustrate the concept:
Example 1: Let's multiply 6 by 1
When you multiply 6 by 1, you get 6.
Example 2: Let's multiply 25 by 1
When you multiply 25 by 1, you get 25.
Therefore, no matter what number you multiply by 1, the product will always be the same number. This is because when you multiply by 1, you are not grouping or combining anything, so the number stays the same.
For your son's homework, all he needs to do is write down the number that he is given as the answer. In this case, since the question is asking about multiplying any number by 1, the answer is simply the number itself.
