Name the property in the following expression
$\frac{ 8}{5}+0=\frac{8}{5}=0+\frac{8}{5}$

Given: $\frac{ 8}{5}+0=\frac{8}{5}=0+\frac{8}{5}$

To do: Identify the property in the given expression.

Solution: 

Property of zero known as Additive identity

Additive identity of a number is that number (0) which when added gives the original number

That is if 'a' is any number, $a + 0 = 0 + a = a$

Here the additive identity of a fraction or rational number is taken. Here also, 0 is the additive identity.
