Multiplying By 5 28920D

1. **Understanding the question:** You asked why we multiply by $5$ in the previous problem. 2. **Context of multiplication:** Multiplying by $5$ means we are scaling or repeating the shaded amount $5$ times. 3. **Why multiply?** If the problem asks for "5 times the shaded amount," it means we want to find the total value when the shaded portion is counted $5$ times. 4. **Example:** If one shaded amount is $0.22$, then $5$ times that amount is calculated as: $$5 \times 0.22 = 1.10$$ 5. **Interpretation:** This shows that the shaded area, when repeated $5$ times, equals $1.10$, which is slightly more than one whole. 6. **Summary:** Multiplying by $5$ is done to find the total value of $5$ groups of the shaded amount, as requested by the problem.
