Calculating five times the number 35

To calculate five times the number 35, you use multiplication, specifically multiplying 35 by 5. Multiplication here means you are taking the value of 35 and combining it five times, which scales the number up proportionally. Think of it as adding 35 five separate times: 35 + 35 + 35 + 35 + 35. Performing the operation 35 * 5 accomplishes this in a single step. The expression 175 captures this calculation, so when you substitute any value for 35, evaluating 35 * 5 will give you five times that original number.
