So it's B?
To determine if a statement is an example of the Identity Property of Multiplication, we need to understand what the property means.
The Identity Property of Multiplication states that when any number is multiplied by 1, the product is that number itself.
Let's check each statement:
1. 8 • 0 = 0: This is not an example of the Identity Property because when we multiply 8 by 0, the product is 0, not 8.
2. 8 • 1 = 8: This is an example of the Identity Property. When we multiply 8 by 1, the product is 8, which is the same as the original number.
3. 8 • –1 = –8: This is not an example of the Identity Property because when we multiply 8 by –1, the product is –8, not 8.
4. –8 • –1 = 8: This is not an example of the Identity Property because when we multiply –8 by –1, the product is 8, not –8.
Based on the explanations above, the correct statement that demonstrates the Identity Property of Multiplication is: 8 • 1 = 8.
