8x6 = 5x6 + 3x6

To find the product of 8 and 6 (8x6), you can use the fact that 5x6 equals 30 to simplify the calculation.

First, let's break down the problem. We know that there were 8 rows in the marching band and 6 band members in each row. This information can be represented as 8x6.

To relate this to the fact that 5x6 equals 30, we can consider the situation in a similar context. Imagine we have 5 rows of band members, with 6 members in each row. So, we now have 5x6.

Since 5x6 equals 30, and we can represent the problem with 8 rows of 6 members as 5x6, we can conclude that 8x6 is equal to 30.

Therefore, using the fact that 5x6 equals 30, we can find that 8x6 is also equal to 30.
