Multiplication and Problem Solving

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the total amount of rice a restaurant needs to order every 28 days. It emphasizes the importance of creating an equation, not just finding the answer. The tutorial walks through setting up the equation using multiplication and demonstrates the step-by-step process to calculate the product. The final equation is presented, highlighting the need to include the equation rather than just the numerical answer.

How many pounds of rice does the restaurant use each day?

• 35 pounds

• 30 pounds

• 32 pounds

• 28 pounds

How often does the restaurant order rice?

• Every 30 days

• Every 25 days

• Every 28 days

• Every 32 days

What is the equation to calculate the total rice needed for 28 days?
