We can use the equation p=5q to solve this problem.
If Leo has 15 beads, we can substitute p=15 into the equation:
15 = 5q
To solve for q, we can divide both sides by 5:
q = 3
Therefore, Lucy has 3 beads.
Leo and Lucy are making friendship bracelets. Leo has five times more beads than Lucy.
The equation given below shows this relationship, where p represents the number of beads Leo has, and q represents the number of beads Lucy has.
p=5q
If Leo has 15 beads, how many beads does Lucy have?
