Unfortunately, as a text-based AI, I am unable to provide a graphical representation for you to follow the instructions. However, I can explain the steps to multiply the fractions graphically.

To multiply the fractions 1/5 and 1/3 graphically, you can use rectangular models to represent the fractions.

1. For Fraction 1 (1/5), draw a rectangle divided into 5 equal parts. Shade one part to represent 1/5.

2. For Fraction 2 (1/3), draw another rectangle divided into 3 equal parts. Shade one part to represent 1/3.

3. Count the number of shaded parts in each rectangle. In this case, there is 1 shaded part in both Fraction 1 and Fraction 2.

4. The product of the two fractions is the number of shaded parts in the overlapping region. In this case, the overlapping region will have 1 shaded part.

Therefore, the product of 1/5 and 1/3 is 1/15, or one-fifteenth.

To find the product of 1/5 and 1/3 graphically, follow the steps mentioned above and count the number of shaded squares.

In this case, we shaded one square in both Fraction 1 and Fraction 2. Therefore, the resulting rectangle will have one shaded square.

The product of 1/5 and 1/3, in unsimplified form, is 1/15.
