Since it is an equation, you can multiply both sides by 5. 3×5 = 1×5 The value of 1×5 depends on how you define multiplication in a universe where 3=1.

Oh, if 15 = 15 x 1, well that's actually 15 x 3 =45. There are many possibilities. Depends on how you perceive the problem. By the way, is this really the first time you used yahoo answers? Just asking.

3 = 1 Left side is three times the right side 15 = 5 Left side is three times the right side

Pope is right, more explanation is needed, but perhaps you want a ratio. 3/1 = 15/x x = 5

I never understand where these questions are coming from. If 3 can equal 1, then 15 can equal whatever you wish it to be.
