Correct Answer
Pattern 1: Each product increases by 15 from the previous one.
Pattern 2: The products end in digits 5 or 0 alternately (15, 30, 45, 60, 75...).
Pattern 3: All products are multiples of 5.
Pattern 4: The tens digit follows a pattern: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15.

Explanation
The chapter encourages students to observe patterns in multiplication tables. The times-15 table shows that products increase by 15 each time, alternate between ending in 5 and 0, and are all divisible by 5.
Solution Steps
Observe that each product increases by 15 from the previous one.
Notice the products end in digits 5 or 0 alternately.
Identify that all products are multiples of 5.
Track the tens digit pattern: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15.
