That's not correct though is it. What you actually end up with is 5 loafs of bread and two fish , the same you started with.
Multiplication only works on things that can be joined together.
It makes no sense to multiply or divide the number used on a house address, just as it makes no sense to multiply things that don't go together.
This might be an exercise in multiplication but it is a very bad example of why or how things are multiplied.
Multiply 2 oranges with 2 oranges and you have 4 oranges. multiply 5 bread with 2 fish and you still have 5 bread and 2 fish not 10 fish / bread
