Question

How do i solve this 

Answer 1

Sounds like they are asking you to write an equation for this.  Start writing it out in numbers and symbols:

 

48=the product of 6 and a number

 

"Product" means multiplication

 

48=6 times a number

 

For the unknown number, you can use any letter, usually x.  The final equation would be written as

48=(6)(x) or 48=6x
