1. **Problem Statement:** Ronan is painting 5 doors, and he has painted \(\frac{1}{3}\) of each door. We need to find a model that represents the total amount of painting completed.
2. **Understanding the problem:** Each door is divided into 3 equal parts, and Ronan has painted 1 part of each door. Since there are 5 doors, the total painted area is 5 times \(\frac{1}{3}\).
3. **Mathematical model:** The total painted fraction is given by multiplying the number of doors by the fraction painted per door:
$$\text{Total painted} = 5 \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$$
4. **Interpretation:** \(\frac{5}{3}\) means Ronan has painted \(1\) whole door and \(\frac{2}{3}\) of another door.
5. **Matching with options:**
- Option A shows \(5 \times \frac{1}{3}\), which matches our calculation.
- Option B shows \(5 \times 1\), which means all doors fully painted, incorrect.
- Option C shows \(3 \times \frac{1}{5}\), which is not the situation.
- Option D shows \(5 \times 1\) again, incorrect.
**Final answer:** Option A correctly represents the amount painted.
