Welcome to Ruby!

Instead of answering your question directly, let me point you to this
tutorial: http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/. This will answer your question
and then some!

How do you sum two numbers by 'inserting' them?

I think what he means is that he wants to 'get' two numbers from user
input, perform the math, and then 'puts' the product/sum

The suggestion to read a few tutorials is definitely valid; the OP
should also have a look at some of the links below (some are for Rails,
most are just Ruby):
