If resistances in a circuit are connected in series, the total resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances. 

So, the total resistance (R) will be 
R = R1 + R2 + R3+ R4+R5   

Where R1R2, and R3 R4 and R5 are individual resistance of the resistors. In this case 
Total resistance (R) = 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15
                                 =55
                                 =1 Ω
Five resistors carrying 15 Ω resistance each are connected in series. The equivalent resistance will be 1 Ω.
