explain but explain in a way I could write it or draw it on paper
make it easy

Answer 1

Correct answer: 3 and 15.

How to show it on paper (easy steps you can write or draw):

1. Try dividing 45 by small numbers.
- 45 ÷ 3 = 15, which is a whole number, so 3 and 15 multiply to 45.

2. Check by multiplying:
- 3 × 15 = 45, so (3, 15) is a factor pair.

3. Draw it (optional):
- Draw 3 rows and put 15 dots in each row. Count the dots: 15 + 15 + 15 = 45.
- Or draw a rectangle 3 units tall and 15 units wide — that shows 3 × 15 = 45.

(Other factor pairs of 45 are 1 & 45 and 5 & 9, but from the choices given pick 3 and 15.)
