So you've gotta have a variable representing the number of seconds between the time when you see lightning and the time when you hear thunder. I'm going to use x.

So equation:
x/5=2

Solving:
you have to multiply both sides by five, so it becomes:
x = 10

so it's 10 seconds!

The number of seconds that should be determined for a thunderstorm is 10 seconds.

Let us assume the number of seconds be x.

So, the equation should be

[tex]2 = \frac{x}{5}\\\\[/tex]

Now multiply by 5 on both the sides

So,

[tex]2\times 5 = \frac{x}{5} \times 5[/tex]

10 = x

So,

x = 10 seconds

Therefore we can conclude that The number of seconds that should be determined for a thunderstorm is 10 seconds.
