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.

Question

It will take ___ minutes to complete the game.

Answer 1

Let \( x \) be the total time in minutes it will take to complete the video game.

Since you have completed \( \frac{1}{5} \) of the game in 23 minutes, we can set up the equation:

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

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

\[ x = 23 \times 5 \]

Calculating that:

\[ x = 115 \]

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