You are playing a new video game. It says that you have completed 1/5 of the game. You have played for 23 minutes. Write and solve an equation to find how long it will take to complete your video game at this rate.(1 point)

Question

It will take ___ minutes to complete the game.

Answer 1

Let \( x \) be the total time (in minutes) required to complete the game. Since you have completed \( \frac{1}{5} \) of the game in 23 minutes, we can set up the equation as follows:

\[ \frac{1}{5}x = 23 \]

To solve for \( x \), multiply both sides of the equation by 5:

\[ x = 23 \times 5 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = 115 \]

So, it will take 115 minutes to complete the entire game at this rate.

Therefore, it will take 115 minutes to complete the game.
