Answer 1

Imagine you’re a pizza baker
* Multithreading: You take one pizza ball, stretch it, top it and put it in the oven. While that pie bakes, you work on your second pizza and so on (you are *concurrently* working on pizzas)

* Multiprocessing: You hire 4 more people, give them all the instructions and you work on your own pizza while they work on theirs (pizzas are being prepared in *parallel*)
