Let's go through each question one by one and identify the correct property or rule, along with an explanation.
---
1. Identify the property or rule:
12 × 0 = 0
-
Answer: A. Zero Property of Multiplication
✔ Explanation:
The
Zero Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by zero equals zero.
So, 12 × 0 = 0 is a direct example of this property.
---
2. Identify the property or rule:
8 × 5 = 5 × 8
-
Answer: A. Commutative Property of Multiplication
✔ Explanation:
The
Commutative Property of Multiplication means that changing the order of the numbers being multiplied does not change the product.
So, 8 × 5 = 5 × 8 illustrates this property.

3. Identify the property or rule:
6 ÷ 1 = 6
-
Answer: D. Any number divided by 1 equals the number (ones in division)
✔ Explanation:
When you divide any number by 1, the result is the number itself. This is known as the
"ones in division" rule.
Note: While it might seem related to identity, this is specifically about division, not multiplication.
> The
Identity Property of Multiplication refers to multiplying by 1 (e.g., 6 × 1 = 6), not division.
So,
D is the best choice here.

4. Identify the property or rule:
10 ÷ 10 = 1
-
Answer: C. Any number divided by itself equals 1 (ones in division)
✔ Explanation:
Any non-zero number divided by itself equals 1.
So, 10 ÷ 10 = 1 is an example of this rule.
> Note: This is
not the Identity Property of Multiplication (which involves multiplying by 1).
> Also, "any number divided by 1" (option A) is not applicable here because we're dividing by 10, not 1.
So,
C is correct.

5. Identify the property or rule:
8 × 0 = 0
-
Answer: A. Zero Property of Multiplication
✔ Explanation:
Same as Question 1 — any number multiplied by zero equals zero. This is the
Zero Property of Multiplication.
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Question | Answer |
|--------|--------|
| 1 | A |
| 2 | A |
| 3 | D |
| 4 | C |
| 5 | A |
