Destiny placed her hair ribbons in 3 groups of 5 on her dresser. How many hair ribbons in all does Destiny have? Draw a diagram to solve.
3×5=15
To solve this problem, we can first draw a diagram to visually represent the hair ribbons that Destiny placed in groups on her dresser.
Let's use circles to represent the groups of hair ribbons. Each circle will represent a group, and the number inside the circle will represent the number of hair ribbons in that group.
Group 1: O O O O O
Group 2: O O O O O
Group 3: O O O O O
Each circle represents a group of 5 hair ribbons, and there are 3 circles in total. Now, to find the total number of hair ribbons Destiny has, we can simply count the number of circles (groups) and multiply it by the number of hair ribbons in each group.
3 groups x 5 hair ribbons per group = 15 hair ribbons
Therefore, Destiny has a total of 15 hair ribbons.
