Distributive property tells us that if a number x is multiplying to the sum of two numbers(y+z) then we can multiply the number x to both the number y and z such that x(y+z)=xy+xz [for left side multiplication]
or
(y+z)x=yx+zx [for right side multiplication]
Given : 48×8
Put parentheses around 48 and write it as sum of two numbers like 40+8 such that
=(40+8)×8
By using distributive property, multiply 8 to both the numbers in the bracket, we get
