Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given:
5 × 3

That means 5 groups of 3, or adding 3 five times.

So let’s write that out:

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3

Now count how many 3s we have:
→ First 3
→ Second 3
→ Third 3
→ Fourth 3
→ Fifth 3

Yes, that’s five 3s added together.

Now look at the options:

- 3 + 3 + 3 → That’s only three 3s → too small
- 3 + 3 → Only two 3s → way too small
- 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 → Four 3s → still not enough
- 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 → Five 3s → perfect!

Also, just to double-check:
5 × 3 = 15
And 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15 → matches!

Final Answer:
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
