ANSWER

A, C, D, and E

Step-by-step explanation

In this model, the rows represent fifths because they are divided into 5 equal columns, while the columns represent thirds because they are divided into 3 equal rows.

Therefore, this model is representing a multiplication between thirds and fifths. Of the options, all that multiply thirds and fifths - or in other words, all the products where the result of the denominator is 15, can be represented by the model.

Hence, the correct answers are A, C, D, and E
