Answer: 3 groups of 5 = 5 + 5 + 5 = 15. 5 groups of 3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15. 3 groups of 5 has the same answer as 5 groups of 3! So, 3 x 5 = 5 x 3. This means that when you multiply 2 numbers, the order of the numbers (which number is first and which is second) does not matter, the answer will still be the same. Multiplication Terms

Step-by-step explanation: I hopes this helps.
