Name the property under multiplication used in each of the following.
(i) -4/5 × 1 = 1 × (-4/5) = -4/5
(ii) -13/17 × (-2/7) = -2/7 × (-13/17)
(iii) -19/29 × 29/-19 = 1

(i) -4/5 × 1 = 1 × (-4/5) = -4/5
Here 1 is the multiplicative identity.
(ii) -13/17 × (-2/7) = -2/7 × (-13/17)
The property of commutativity is used in the equation
(iii) -19/29 × 29/-19 = 1
Multiplicative inverse is the property used in this equation.
