8/5+0=8/5=0+8/5 name the property involved in the following examples
Answers
Answer:
The property involved in the following example is Additive Identity of rational numbers. 0 is the additive Identity for all rational numbers. If a is a rational number, then a+0 = a = 0+a.
Given,
8/5+0=8/5=0+8/5
To find,
The name of the property involved.
Solution,
The name of the property in 8/5+0=8/5=0+8/5 will be the additive property.
We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.
According to the question,
8/5+0=8/5=0+8/5
By observing this expression, we find that zero is being added to the given rational number and the answer remains the same (without any change).
This property is called the additive property (zero is added to a rational number but the result is the same rational number even if we reverses their order. For example, a+0 = a = 0+a)
(More to know: the three common properties of addition are commutative, associative and distributive property.)
Hence, the property in 8/5+0=8/5=0+8/5 is the additive property.
