Final answer:

To find the product of 3/5 multiplied by 2, we add three-fifths two times, as multiplication by a whole number is equivalent to repeated addition of the fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking how many times we need to add three-fifths to get the product of 3/5 × 2. To find the product of two numbers, we multiply them. In the context of fractions, multiplying by a whole number is equivalent to adding the fraction that many times. For example, multiplying 3/5 (three-fifths) by 2 (two) can be visualized as adding three-fifths twice: (3/5 + 3/5). This is the same as having two groups of three-fifths, which means we add three-fifths together two times.
