Question - Distributive Property in Arithmetic

Note that the equation uses the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

Given: \(6 \times 8 = (5 + 1) \times 8\)

Distribute \(8\) across \(5 + 1\):

\(6 \times 8 = (5 \times 8) + (1 \times 8)\)

\(6 \times 8 = 40 + 8\)

\(6 \times 8 = 48\)

Therefore, the solution completes the equation: \(6 \times 8 = 48\).
