Solution Steps

Step 1: Solve for the blank in \( \square \times 1 = 7 \)
  • The equation is \( \square \times 1 = 7 \).
  • Since multiplying any number by 1 gives the same number, the blank must be 7.
  • Property used: Multiplicative Identity Property.
Step 2: Solve for the blank in \( \square \times (4 \times 5) = (3 \times 4) \times 5 \)
  • The equation is \( \square \times (4 \times 5) = (3 \times 4) \times 5 \).
  • Simplify both sides: \( \square \times 20 = 12 \times 5 \).
  • Further simplify: \( \square \times 20 = 60 \).
  • Divide both sides by 20: \( \square = 3 \).
  • Property used: Associative Property of Multiplication.
Step 3: Solve for the blank in \( 5 \times \square = 0 \)
  • The equation is \( 5 \times \square = 0 \).
  • The only number that, when multiplied by 5, gives 0 is 0.
  • Property used: Multiplicative Property of Zero.

Final Answer

(a) \( \boxed{7} \) (Multiplicative Identity Property)
(b) \( \boxed{3} \) (Associative Property of Multiplication)
(c) \( \boxed{0} \) (Multiplicative Property of Zero)
(d) \( \boxed{5} \) (Commutative Property of Multiplication)
