Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 5 and we're going to multiply it by 9, which means adding 5 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 5 = 5
Step 2: 5 + 5 = 10
Step 3: 10 + 5 = 15
Step 4: 15 + 5 = 20
Step 5: 20 + 5 = 25
Step 6: 25 + 5 = 30
Step 7: 30 + 5 = 35
Step 8: 35 + 5 = 40
Step 9: 40 + 5 = 45

So, 5*9 = 45
