Change the response to multiply the two arguments and return their product.

flask_app.py 
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<float:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<float:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<float:num1>/<float:num2>')
def multiply(num1,num2) :
        #return str(num1 * num2)
        return '{} * {} = {} ' .format(num1,num2,num1*num2)

You're not trying to print out the mathematical equation, just the result of the equation.

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/multiply')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<int:num1>/<float:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<float:num1>/<int:num2>')
@app.route('/multiply/<float:num1>/<float:num2>')
def multiply(num1=5, num2=5):
        return str(num1 * num2)
