This is taught as a mental math strategy Typically you "break" each addend into tens and ones
to solve 45 + 32 the students do this: For example: 45 "breaks into" 40 + 5 Similarly 32 "breaks into" 30 + 2 Students then add the tens 40 + 30 = 70
and then add the ones 5 + 2 = 7 and then add the two sums together 77 ...... 45 + 32 = 77

These equations are when the numbers are combined and sometimes divided. There are many more than simply 8 of these equations.
To break apart 4x7, you can use the distributive property of multiplication over addition. This means you can break apart the multiplication into smaller, more manageable parts. For example, you can break apart 4x7 into (4x5) + (4x2), which equals 20 + 8, resulting in a final answer of 28.
You take all the answers and add it all together. Break apart is a multiplication strategy. To multiply 45 and 6, you first break apart the 45 into 40 and 5, now multiply both with multiplier 6. Then add both of them. This is 40x6 + 5x6= 240 + 30 = 270
Because of the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
