ok 8 * 7 = 56 but your trying to break apart so ..

So ur trying to break apart 7 and 8 to still get ur sum 56 , so first , we are going to break up 8 which is 4 ... so we have 4 and 4 cause 4 +4 = 8 , then we look at 7 .... you see , there is no way you can break up 7 from a lower number value . so im going to keep 7 as it is cause f you noticed....8 is split equally with 4 , but when you look at 7 , there is no way at all that you can equally split 7 so im going to solve this problem , how we have it is

4 + 4 = 8 * 7 = 56

makes sense cause you add 2 4's cause 4 + 4 = 8 the n u times 7 with the answer of 4 + 4 and you got your answer

Break method ...

8 - 4 = 4

7 = ? < no equal splitting

4 + 4 = 8 * 7 = 56

hoped this helped
