Write the pair of factors of 15
that are shown by this model.
In this question, we have to find
the pair of factors of the number 15 shown by this area model. In this model, our 15 squares have
been drawn using a rectangle which measures five squares by three squares. So we know that five multiplied by
three equals 15. We could also say that three
multiplied by five equals 15. So the pair of factors, or the
factor pair, is the numbers three and five. Three and five are two numbers
which we can multiply together to give us a product of 15. So the pair of factors of 15 that
are shown by this model are three and five. Three and five are factors of
15.
