Multiplying Whole Numbers in Applications

This video tutorial covers three examples of using multiplication to solve real-world problems. The first example involves calculating the total number of hot dogs Vanessa brought to a family reunion by multiplying the number of packs by the number of hot dogs per pack. The second example determines the number of women in a choir, given that there are twice as many women as men. The final example calculates the area of Renee's driveway using the formula for the area of a rectangle. Each example demonstrates the application of multiplication in different contexts.
