$15sqrt(15)$

Each of the numbers in the problem are being multiplied. The order of items multiplied can be rearranged as follows:

$5sqrt(5)$ $3sqrt(3) = 5(3) sqrt(5) sqrt(3) = 15 sqrt(5) sqrt(3)$

Radicals can be combined if they are the same type (e.g. both square roots): $15 sqrt(5 (3)) = 15sqrt(15)$
