Jennifer has watched 42 minutes of a movie, which is 20% of the movie.
What is the total length in minutes of the movie?
.20x = 42
x = 42*5 = 210 min
im confused on this answer
42*5= 210 minutes

To find the total length of the movie, we can set up a proportion with the information given. Let's assume the total length of the movie is represented by "x" minutes.
If Jennifer has watched 42 minutes, which is 20% of the movie, we can write the proportion as:
42 / x = 20 / 100
To solve for "x," we can cross-multiply and then divide:
42 * 100 = x * 20
4200 = 20x
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 20:
4200 / 20 = x
x = 210
Therefore, the total length of the movie is 210 minutes.
