Ali reads a story and a play. The play has 165 pages, which is 5 times as many pages as the story. Which equation could you use to find s, the number of pages in the story?

165/5 = s

.'

To find the number of pages in the story, we can set up an equation using the given information. Let's let s be the number of pages in the story.

Since the play has 165 pages, which is 5 times as many pages as the story, we can write the equation:

165 = 5s

This equation states that the number of pages in the play (165) is equal to 5 times the number of pages in the story (5s).

To find the number of pages in the story, we can use the equation "5s = 165", where 's' represents the number of pages in the story.

Since the play has 165 pages, we know that it is 5 times as many pages as the story. Therefore, we multiply the number of pages in the story by 5, which gives us the total number of pages in the play.

By setting up the equation "5s = 165", we are saying that the number of pages in the story (s) times 5 is equal to 165, representing the number of pages in the play.
