Answer:

$\frac{1}{5}x=25$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of books in a shipment.

We are asked to write an equation for the given description.

1/5 of a shipment of books would be $\frac{1}{5}x$ .

1/5 of a shipment of books weights 25 pounds. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$\frac{1}{5}x=25$

Therefore, our required equation would be $\frac{1}{5}x=25$ .
