To find out how many cans of paint are needed to build 15 birdhouses, you can multiply the amount of paint required for one birdhouse by the number of birdhouses:
\[
\text{Cans of paint needed} = \text{Cans of paint per birdhouse} \times \text{Number of birdhouses}
\]
Given that you need 0.2 cans of paint for each birdhouse:
\[
\text{Cans of paint needed} = 0.2 \times 15
\]
Calculating the multiplication:
\[
\text{Cans of paint needed} = 3
\]
Therefore, you need **3 cans of paint** to build 15 birdhouses.
