Problem:
The image shows a multiplication problem:
$$
8 \times 8
$$
Solution:
To solve the problem, we need to multiply the two numbers, 8 and 8.
1.
Understanding Multiplication:
Multiplication is essentially repeated addition. When we say \( 8 \times 8 \), it means adding 8 to itself 8 times:
$$
8 \times 8 = 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8
$$
2.
Performing the Calculation:
Instead of manually adding 8 eight times, we can use the standard multiplication method:
$$
8 \times 8 = 64
$$
3.
Verification:
To ensure accuracy, we can verify by breaking it down:
- \( 8 \times 8 \) can also be thought of as \( (8 \times 10) - (8 \times 2) \):
$$
8 \times 10 = 80 \quad \text{and} \quad 8 \times 2 = 16
$$
$$
80 - 16 = 64
$$
This confirms our result.
Final Answer:
$$
\boxed{64}
$$
