1. **State the problem:** We are given the equation $MF = 5MG$ and need to understand or solve it. 2. **Identify variables and relationship:** The equation relates $MF$ and $MG$ with a factor of 5. 3. **Rewrite the equation:** $MF = 5MG$ 4. **Isolate one variable:** To express $MF$ in terms of $MG$, the equation is already isolated. 5. **Interpretation:** This means $MF$ is 5 times $MG$. 6. **If you want to find $MG$ in terms of $MF$, divide both sides by 5:** $$\frac{MF}{5} = \cancel{5}MG \div \cancel{5}$$ $$MG = \frac{MF}{5}$$ 7. **Summary:** $MF$ is 5 times $MG$, or equivalently, $MG$ is one-fifth of $MF$.
