Consider the equation 5x=8. Write a scenario pertaining to the girls studying that is represented by this equation. Solve the equation and explain what the answer represents.

During a girls study night, they had x number of study sheets which was five times the amount of review sheets they had which was eight. How many study sheets did the girls have?

So we know that 5*x equals 8 so if we use the inverse operation that would be division so 8 divided by 5 is 1.6 so if we substitute x for 1.6 and check our answer, 5 times 1.6 is equal to 8 so the girls had 1.6 study sheets

Ithink the answer is: it is likely.
