Calculating five times the number 70

To calculate five times the number 70, you use multiplication, specifically multiplying 70 by 5. Multiplication here means you are taking the value of 70 and combining it five times, which scales the number up proportionally. Think of it as adding 70 five separate times: 70 + 70 + 70 + 70 + 70. Performing the operation 70 * 5 accomplishes this in a single step. The expression 350 captures this calculation, so when you substitute any value for 70, evaluating 70 * 5 will give you five times that original number.
