C# Basics Multiply Method, why does this code not work?

I am not sure why this code doesn't work. It seems to match the hints so I'm not sure how to proceed.

Program.cs 
using System;

class Program
{

    // YOUR CODE HERE: Define a method named Multiply. 
    static void Multiply(double num1, double num2)
    {
        num1 * num2;
    }
    // Remember to use the "static" and "void" keywords: "static void
    // Multiply" (without quotes). Multiply should take two
    // "double" values as parameters.

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // YOUR CODE HERE:
        Console.WriteLine(Multiply(2.5, 2));
        // Call Multiply with two arguments: 2.5 and 2.
        // YOUR CODE HERE:
        Console.Writeline(Multiply(6, 7));
        // Call Multiply with two arguments: 6 and 7.
    }

}

According to the instructions Console.WriteLine should be in your Multiply function instead of the Main method.

Thanks Kris. Finally got it with this"

using System;

class Program
{

    // YOUR CODE HERE: Define a method named Multiply. Remember
    // to use the "static" and "void" keywords: "static void
    // Multiply" (without quotes). Multiply should take two
    // "double" values as parameters.

    static void Multiply(double number1, double number2)
    {
        double result = number1 * number2;
        Console.WriteLine(result);
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // YOUR CODE HERE:
        // Call Multiply with two arguments: 2.5 and 2.
        Multiply(2.5, 2);
        // YOUR CODE HERE:
        // Call Multiply with two arguments: 6 and 7.
        Multiply(6, 7);
    }

}
