You have to total 15. You must use 5, 4, 3, and 1 each once and must use each number. You can add, subtract, divide, or multiply to get to 15.
Example (yet incorrect) 5x3 = 15...15+4=19 19-1 = 18.
Obviously wrong because you need 15 but anybody know this. I think there is two solutions! Thanks
Can't combine #'s... no 45 or 15 etc... there are 2 solutions

I can't even find one solution..... I've been trying since you posted it last time. I think you should check with a math teacher or someone else experienced in math.

4-1=3*5=15
But I don't know if that is in the spirit of your question as I'm using an answer of 5 for the use of the number 5.

If you can use exponents....
5-3=2... 2^4=16... 16-1=15.
