Question

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.

Answer 1

To find how long it will take to complete the video game, we can set up the equation based on the information given.

Let \( x \) be the total time in minutes it will take to complete the game. Since you have completed \( \frac{1}{5} \) of the game in 23 minutes, we can write the equation:

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

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

\[
x = 23 \times 5
\]

Calculating that:

\[
x = 115
\]

Thus, it will take **115 minutes** to complete the game.

So, the final answer is:

It will take **115** minutes to complete the game.
