Question

Colby is making a home video consisting of a 5-minute introduction followed by several short skits. Each skit is 8 minutes long. If Colby's video is 181 minutes long, how many skits are in his video?

27
17
23
22

Answer 1

If we let "x" be the number of skits in Colby's video, then we can set up the following equation based on the information given:

5 minutes (for the introduction) + 8 minutes per skit (for "x" number of skits) = 181 minutes

Simplifying this equation, we get:

5 + 8x = 181

Subtracting 5 from both sides, we have:

8x = 176

Dividing both sides by 8, we get:

x = 22

Therefore, there are 22 skits in Colby's video. Answer: 22.
