Word problem - Jose played soccer for 5 hours every afternoon for 8 days. How many hours did Jose play soccer in all?
So this problem is about Jose and the amount of time he spends playing soccer.
Next, let's pick out what we know and what we want to find out.
We know that Jose played soccer for 5 hours every afternoon for 8 days. We want to find out how many hours of soccer he played in all so we need to multiply.
We multiply the amount of time he spent playing soccer each afternoon which is 5 hours by the number of days which is 8 days.
(8) (5) = 40
This means that Jose played 40 hours of soccer in all.
