Question

Britney just got a new video game for her birthday. Yesterday, she played for 27 minutes and beat 3 levels. Today, her parents said she can play for 45 minutes.

If she beats levels at the same rate, how many levels should Britney beat toda

Answer 1

5 levels

Explanation:

first set up a linear equation,

27 minutes/ 3 levels =45 minutes/ x levels.

You can then find the answer by cross multiplying.

27•x=27x and 45•3= 135.

set these two equations equal to one another and you have 27x=135.

To get x alone, you then need to divide each side by the number attached to x which is 27. 27x/27 =x and 135/27 =5 so x=5
