The question is merely asking:

If x=3.304, and you have 5 x's whats the total value?

The value of the expression 5x is 16.52 if each x is equal to 3.304

Remember the rhyme:

If they're side by side,
then they're multiplied.

In 5x the 5 and the x are side-be-side
So they're multiplied

And since x = 3.304

we multiply 5 by 3.304 and get 16.52
