• A. 2 x 8 + 5 x 8
• B. 2 x 8 + 4 x 8
• C. 3 x 8 + 5 x 8
• D. 3 x 8 + 4 x 8

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2 x 8 + 4 x 8

Option A = 2 x 8 + 5 x 8 = 7 x 8​

Option B = 2 x 8 + 4 x 6 = 6 x 8 ​

Option C = 3 x 8 + 5 x 8 = 8 x 8​

Option D = 3 x 8 + 4 x 8 = 7 x 8 ​

Since we want 6 x 8, option B is the correct answer
