Answer:

7×(60 +8)

Explanation:

There are many ways to do it. The one we usually use for multiplication by hand is ...

7×68 = 7×(60 +8) = 7×60 +7×8

__

Just to show you some other possibilities, we could do ...

7×68 = 7×(34 +34) = 7×(20 +20 +20 +8) = (5 +2)×68

The last one is interesting in that mental multiplication by 5 and 2 are generally pretty easy. (5+2)×68 = 340 +136 = 476
