It is not the distributive property. The statement in the question is simply FALSE.
8*31 = 8*(30 + 1) which, using the distributive property, is= 8*30 + 8*1 = 240 + 8 = 248

8*3.5 = 8*(3 + 0.5) which, applying the distributive property, = 8*3 + 8*0.5 = 24 + 4 = 28
4 x 18 = (4 x 10) + (4 x 8)
8(3 + 8)
8(3 + 4)
8(7 + 4)
The distributive property is a red herring for this question: you do not need it! The distributive property is applicable when you have two binary operations - multiplication and addition, for example. This question has nothing of the sort. Perhaps you meant some other property.
The GCF of 24 and 64 is 8. You use the distributive property to show another way to write the sum. 8(3 + 8)
It states that 5*(8+3) = 5*8 + 5*3
It is not the distributive property. The statement in the question is simply FALSE.

8*31 = 8*(30 + 1) which, using the distributive property, is= 8*30 + 8*1 = 240 + 8 = 248

8*3.5 = 8*(3 + 0.5) which, applying the distributive property, = 8*3 + 8*0.5 = 24 + 4 = 28
8*37 = 8*(30+7) = 8*30 + 8*7 [that is using the distributive property] = 240 + 56 = 296
