What's three fives?
3x5=?
I know usually it is natural to say three fives ARE fifteen, but should we ask " What's three fives?" or" What are three fives?' which is correct? Thank you

Question

Answer

I’ve never heard “three fives are fifteen”; and not 100% on that but i think “thee fives MAKE fifteen” sounds better

usually I’d say “Three times five is fifteen”/“three times five equals fifteen”

so if you wanna check someone’s multiply table knowledge ask “what’s three times five?” or “what’s three multiplied by five?” if you wanna be extravagant 🧐

Answer

I would say it like this "What is three times five?"

Answer

thank you

Answer

No, because three fives can also be 555.
