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) it will take minutes to complete the game.

1 answer

To find out how long it will take to complete the entire game at the current rate, we can set up an equation.

  1. You have completed \( \frac{1}{5} \) of the game in 23 minutes.
  2. Let \( x \) be the total time it takes to complete the entire game.

Since 23 minutes corresponds to \( \frac{1}{5} \) of the game, we can write the equation:

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

To solve for \( x \), we can multiply both sides by 5:

\[ x = 23 \cdot 5 \]

Now, calculate \( 23 \cdot 5 \):

\[ x = 115 \]

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