What is something in real life that requires multiplying two numbers together?

Question

like something that we see in our daily life that uses multiplication, for ex. jobs, etc.

Answer 1

Ok, say you work in a bakery.  You have to make a recipe that makes three loaves of bread.  but you need to have 15 loaves for an order.  You would have to multiply everything in that recipe by five for it to come out accurate.  

Answer 2

Shopping.  One box of cereal costs $2, and you are purchasing three boxes.  3 X 2=6.

Cooking.  The recipe calls for two cups of flour, but you are making a quadruple size for  party.  2 X 4=8.

There are a couple of examples.

Another one would be you are making 10 copies of a document, and the document consists of three pages.  You would multiply 10 X 3 to determine that you need 30 sheets of paper.

I hope this helps!
