Which equation shows the zero property of multiplication? Choices: (A)k · 0 = 0 (B)(k + m) · n = k · n + m · n (C)k = k · 1 (D)1 · k = k

Identify Zero Property: Identify the zero property of multiplication. The zero property of multiplication states that any number multiplied by zero is zero.Analyze Choices: Analyze each choice to see which one represents the zero property of multiplication. (A) k · 0 = 0 (B) (k + m) · n = k · n + m · n (C) k = k · 1 (D) 1 · k = kMatch with Zero Property: Match the choices with the zero property of multiplication. Choice (A) k · 0 = 0 directly matches the zero property of multiplication, which states that any number multiplied by zero gives zero.Eliminate Incorrect Choices: Eliminate the other choices as they represent different properties. (B) represents the distributive property. (C) represents the identity property of multiplication. (D) also represents the identity property of multiplication.Select Correct Answer: Select the correct answer based on the zero property of multiplication. The correct answer is (A) k · 0 = 0.

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A)

k \cdot 0 = 0

\newline

(B)

(k + m) \cdot n = k \cdot n + m \cdot n

\newline

(C)

k = k \cdot 1

\newline

(D)

1 \cdot k = k

Identify Zero Property: Identify the zero property of multiplication. The zero property of multiplication states that any number multiplied by $0$ is $0$ .
Analyze Choices: Analyze each choice to see which one represents the zero property of multiplication. $\newline$ (A) $k \cdot 0 = 0$ $\newline$ (B) $(k + m) \cdot n = k \cdot n + m \cdot n$ $\newline$ (C) $k = k \cdot 1$ $\newline$ (D) $1 \cdot k = k$
Match with Zero Property: Match the choices with the zero property of multiplication. Choice (A) $k \cdot 0 = 0$ directly matches the zero property of multiplication, which states that any number multiplied by zero gives zero.
Eliminate Incorrect Choices: Eliminate the other choices as they represent different properties. $\newline$ (B) represents the distributive property. $\newline$ (C) represents the identity property of multiplication. $\newline$ (D) also represents the identity property of multiplication.
Select Correct Answer: Select the correct answer based on the zero property of multiplication. $\newline$ The correct answer is (A) $k \cdot 0 = 0$ .
