.

Answer 1

To break down the multiplication \(43 \times 18\) using the distributive property, we can express \(18\) as \(10 + 8\).

So, we can rewrite the problem as: \[ 43 \times 18 = 43 \times (10 + 8) = 43 \times 10 + 43 \times 8 \]

Calculating each part:

1. \(43 \times 10 = 430\)
2. \(43 \times 8 = 344\)

Now we can fill in the blanks:

• 344 is the product of 43 and 8.
• 430 is the product of 43 and 10.

Thus, the completed statements are:

• 43 times 18 = 344 + 430.
• 344 is the product of 43 and 8.
• 430 is the product of 43 and 10.
