1. **State the problem:** We need to fill in the missing digits in the multiplication puzzle:
$$\boxed{\square \square 5} \times 4 \square = \square \square \square \square$$
with partial products:
$$\square 1 5$$
$$\square 6 \square 0$$
$$4 7 \square \square$$
2. **Understand the multiplication layout:** The multiplication is of a three-digit number ending with 5 by a two-digit number starting with 4.
3. **Set variables:** Let the three-digit number be $100a + 10b + 5$ where $a,b$ are digits.
Let the two-digit number be $40 + c$ where $c$ is a digit.
4. **Partial products:** Multiplying by $c$ (units digit of multiplier) gives the first partial product ending with 5:
$$(100a + 10b + 5) \times c = \square 1 5$$
This means the product ends with 5, so $c$ must be 1 or 5 (since only 1 or 5 multiplied by 5 ends with 5).
5. **Try $c=1$:**
$$(100a + 10b + 5) \times 1 = 100a + 10b + 5 = \square 1 5$$
The last two digits are 1 and 5, so $10b + 5$ ends with 15, so $b=1$.
So the first partial product is $a15$.
6. **Second partial product:** Multiplying by 4 (tens digit) gives:
$$(100a + 10b + 5) \times 4 = \square 6 \square 0$$
This product ends with 0, so the units digit of $(100a + 10b + 5) \times 4$ is 0.
Since the original number ends with 5, $5 \times 4 = 20$, units digit 0, consistent.
7. **Third partial product:** The sum of partial products is:
$$\square \square \square \square = 4 7 \square \square$$
The total product starts with 4 and 7.
8. **Try $c=5$:**
$$(100a + 10b + 5) \times 5 = \square 1 5$$
Since $5 \times 5 = 25$, units digit 5, tens digit 2, so the last two digits are 25, not 15.
So $c=5$ is invalid.
9. **From step 5, $c=1$, $b=1$.**
So the three-digit number is $100a + 10 \times 1 + 5 = 100a + 15$.
10. **Calculate second partial product:**
$$(100a + 15) \times 4 = 400a + 60$$
This must be $\square 6 \square 0$.
So the tens digit is 6, units digit 0, consistent.
11. **Calculate total product:**
$$(100a + 15) \times 41 = (100a + 15) \times (40 + 1) = (100a + 15) \times 40 + (100a + 15) \times 1 = 4000a + 600 + 100a + 15 = 4100a + 615$$
This total product is $4 7 \square \square$.
12. **Try values of $a$ from 1 to 9:**
- For $a=1$: total = $4100 + 615 = 4715$ which matches $4 7 1 5$.
- Check partial products:
First partial product: $(100 \times 1 + 15) \times 1 = 115$ matches $\square 1 5$.
Second partial product: $(100 \times 1 + 15) \times 4 = 460$ matches $\square 6 \square 0$.
Total product: $4715$ matches $4 7 \square \square$.
13. **Final answer:**
The missing digits are:
Three-digit number: 115
Two-digit number: 41
Product: 4715
**Verification:**
$$115 \times 41 = 4715$$
All partial products and digits match the puzzle.
**Answer:** The missing digits are 1 and 1 in the first number and 1 in the second number, making the multiplication $115 \times 41 = 4715$.
