8/5+0=8/5=0+8/5
Name the property involved in the given examples

Answer 1

commutative property

Answer 2

Given:

8/5+0=8/5=0+8/5

To Find:

The property involved.

Solution:

Commutative property: "commutative property or commutative law explains that order of terms doesn’t matter while performing arithmetic operations."

• It means if we change the sequence of terms in a given expression the result remain the same.
• For example: a+b = b+a

a+b = b+a a*b = b*a

• It is applicable only for addition and multiplication.

According to the question:

In the given expression

8/5+0=8/5=0+8/5

we can see that the terms are interchanged but the result remains same.

=>8/5+0 = 8/5

=>0 + 8/5= 8/5

So the property used here is commutative.

Hence, the property involved in the given example is commutative property.
