Multiplication is a simple way of adding
For example 6x8 is the same as 8+8+8+8+8+8
Any number multiplied by 1 is itself E.g 4x1 = 4
Multiplying by 2 is just doubling
Multiplying by 10 is adding a 0 to the original number
If it is a big number that you do not know how to multiply mentally split it up
E.g 17x13
Split 13 into 10 and 3
17x10= 170
17x3= 51
Then add these numbers
221
If you ever get stuck, use the long method, add them instead, you will get to the right answer but it will take longer
Dividing is not as simple
Like multiplication dividing by one will leave you with the same answer
Dividing by two means you half the number, which may give you a decimal
Bigger numbers are trickier, and you may be allowed to use a calculator for numbers
Below are a number of links, these websites will teach you how to improve your multiplication and division skills:

You add all of the numbers up then divide them by the number of values you added
Answer:
141 km
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because as the boat travels at a constant speed, it will travel the same distance each hour. The boat travels at 35.25 km/h, so you must multiply this number by 4.
This gets the answer 141 km.
