Question

_____ is the multiplicative identity of whole numbers while ____ is the additive identity of whole numbers.

• A. $1,0$
• B. $0,1$
• C. $1,1$
• D. $0,0$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$1,0$

The whole number, when multiplied by another whole number, results in the whole number to which it was multiplied. 1 is the additive identity as $a\times 1=a$

The whole number, when added to another whole number, results in the whole number to which it was added. 0 is the additive identity as $a+0=a$

Hence, the correct option is A
