Ashton had 14 photo frames. He gave 7 frames to his cousin. Now, Ashton has 2 frames. Jack filled 14 bags each with 7 pounds of sand. In all, Jack put 2 pounds of sand in bags. Cheryl bought 14 pounds of oranges and apples. She bought 7 pounds of oranges and 2 pounds of apples. Kate had 14 muffins. She put an equal number of muffins in 7 boxes. So, Kate put 2 muffins in each box.

Kate's situation is correct because she put 2 muffins each in 7 boxes, which is saying 7 x 2. If you multiply these factors together, you will get 14 muffins; which is the amount that Kate started with.
