Question

3 × 8 =
area = sq.

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply the numbers

To find the area, we multiply the two given numbers. The expression is $3\times8$.
$3\times8 = 24$

Step2: Determine the area

The area of a rectangle (implied by the grid and multiplication) is the product of its length and width. Here, length and width are 3 and 8 (or vice versa), so the area is the result of the multiplication.

Answer:

For the multiplication $\frac{3}{1}\times\frac{8}{1}=\frac{24}{1}$ (or simply $3\times8 = 24$), and the area is $\boxed{24}$ square units.
