Of course, honeymoose! I’d be happy to explain and sketch a drawing for 15 / 3.

The Explanation

The division 15 / 3 (or 15 ÷ 3) is asking a simple question:

“If you have 15 items, how many groups of 3 can you make?”

To solve this with a drawing, we will:

  1. Start with 15 items.
  2. Circle them in groups of 3.
  3. Count how many groups we made. The number of groups is our answer!

The Sketch

Step 1: Draw the 15 items.

Let’s use circles ‘O’ to represent our items. Here are 15 of them:

O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O

Step 2: Circle the items in groups of 3.

Now we go through the line of circles and draw a loop around every 3 items.

Here is a text version of that drawing:

(O O O) (O O O) (O O O) (O O O) (O O O)

Step 3: Count the number of groups you made.

Let’s count them up:

(O O O) (O O O) (O O O) (O O O) (O O O)
1 2 3 4 5

We were able to make 5 groups.

Conclusion

By drawing 15 items and putting them into groups of 3, we can see that we end up with exactly 5 groups.

Therefore:

15 / 3 = 5
