Let x be the number of miles the whale swims in 16 days.

We can set up a proportion:
5 days = 200 miles
16 days = x miles

Using cross-multiplication, we get:
5x = 16 * 200

Simplifying, we get:
5x = 3200

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:
x = 640

Therefore, the equation that can be used to find how many miles the whale swims in 16 days is 5x = 3200.

Yes, that is correct! The equation 16 days * (200 miles / 5 days) = 640 miles can also be used to find how many miles the whale swims in 16 days.

Apologies for any confusion. Yes, you can directly calculate the number of miles the whale swims in 16 days using the equation 16 days * (200 miles / 5 days) = 640 miles, without involving the intermediate step of 5x = 3200.
