To determine the number of rings the planet has, we start by understanding the relationship given in the question. It states that the number of moons around the planet is five times more than the number of rings that Uranus has.

Firstly, we know that Uranus has 15 moons. To find the number of rings Uranus has, we can set up a basic equation. If we let the number of rings Uranus has be represented by 'r', then according to the problem:

Number of moons around the planet = 5 * r

Since Uranus has 15 moons, we can equate this to the relationship:

5 * r = 15

To find 'r', we simply divide both sides of the equation by 5:

r = 15 / 5

r = 3

This means that Uranus has 3 rings. Consequently, if the number of moons around the specified planet is five times the number of rings Uranus has:

Moons around the planet = 5 * 3 = 15

From the information we have, we are only looking for how many rings Uranus has, which we calculated to be 3. This aligns perfectly with the context given in the question, confirming that
