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.

Answer 1

To determine how long it will take to complete the video game at the current rate, let's set up the equation.

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

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

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

\[ x = 23 \times 5 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ x = 115 \]

Therefore, it will take a total of 115 minutes to complete the video game at the current rate.
