To analyze the expressions represented by the corn mazes, we can rewrite each expression you provided and check for equivalency.
Let's evaluate each option:
1. **(5)(3) + (5)(1)**:
- This expands to \( 15 + 5 = 20 \).
2. **5 times 3 plus 5 times 1**:
- This is the same as the first expression: \( 5 \times 3 + 5 \times 1 = 15 + 5 = 20 \).
3. **(3 + 1)5**:
- This can be interpreted as \( 4 \times 5 = 20 \) (incorrect in parsing the notation as written).
4. **15 + 5**:
- This equals \( 20 \).
5. **3(5 + 1)**:
- This expands to \( 3 \times 6 = 18 \) (not equivalent).
6. **3 + (5 + 1)**:
- This simplifies to \( 3 + 6 = 9 \) (not equivalent).
Based on the evaluations:
The three equivalent expressions are:
1. **(5)(3) + (5)(1)**
2. **5 times 3 plus 5 times 1**
3. **15 + 5**
Therefore, the three responses that apply are the first two options and the fourth option.
