Let's solve each multiplication word problem step by step.

Problem 1:
A factory produces 950 pairs of shoes every day. What is the number of shoes produced in 30 days?
####
Step-by-step Solution:
- The factory produces
950 pairs per day.
- We need to find out how many pairs are produced in
30 days.
- This is a multiplication problem:
$$
950 \text{ pairs/day} \times 30 \text{ days} = ?
$$
Now calculate:
$$
950 \times 30 = (950 \times 3) \times 10 = 2850 \times 10 = 28,500
$$
So, the factory produces
28,500 pairs of shoes in 30 days.
✔ Answer: 28,500 pairs of shoes

Problem 2:
A furniture factory gets an order of 114 chairs for a company. 28 companies place the same number of order. What is the total number of chairs ordered?
####
Step-by-step Solution:
- One company orders
114 chairs.
-
28 companies each order the
same amount, so we multiply:
$$
114 \text{ chairs/company} \times 28 \text{ companies} = ?
$$
Let’s compute this:
We can break it down:
$$
114 \times 28 = 114 \times (20 + 8) = (114 \times 20) + (114 \times 8)
$$
- $114 \times 20 = 2,280$
- $114 \times 8 = 912$
Now add them:
$$
2,280 + 912 = 3,192
$$
✔ Answer: 3,192 chairs

✔ Final Answers:
1.
28,500 pairs of shoes
2.
