When you multiply, you're basically adding a certain number more than once. For instance, if you eat 4 pieces of candy, then you eat another 4, then 4 more, you can say that you multiplied the amount of candy you ate.
Multiplication happens all the time in real life. For example, consider the situation below.
Imagine that you buy a 6-pack of soda. You have 1 set of 6 cans.
