You are playing a new video game. It says that you have completed 15
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.
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion.
Let x represent the time it will take to complete the game.
The completed percentage of the game is directly proportional to the time played. So, we can set up the equation:
15/23 = 100/x
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
15x = 23 * 100
15x = 2300
Dividing both sides by 15:
x = 2300/15
x = 153.33
Therefore, it will take approximately 153.33 minutes to complete the game.
