Rubio decides he is going to walk to his friends house, which is 1 mile from his house. He can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. At this rate. How long will it take him to get to his friends house
To find out how long it will take for Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to divide the distance by his pace.
Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, so the time it takes for 1 mile is:
1 mile * (16 minutes / 2/3 mile)
Simplifying the expression, we get:
1 mile * (16 minutes / 2/3 mile) = 1 mile * (16 minutes * 3/2) = 1 mile * (24 minutes)
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion.
Rubio walks at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. Let's call the time it takes him to get to his friend's house "t" minutes.
The proportion can be set up as follows:
2/3 mile / 16 minutes = 1 mile / t minutes
To solve for "t", we can cross multiply:
(2/3) * t = 16 * 1
2t/3 = 16
Now, to isolate "t", we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
2t = 16 * 3
2t = 48
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for "t":
t = 48 / 2
t = 24
So, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can use the information given about his walking pace.
Rubio walks at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
First, we need to determine how many 2/3 mile increments make up the entire distance to his friend's house (which is 1 mile).
We can set up a proportion to solve for the time it will take Rubio:
(2/3 mile) / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
To solve for x, the time it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house:
Cross multiply:
(2/3 mile) * x minutes = (1 mile) * (16 minutes)
Multiply both sides:
(2/3) * x = 16
Now, isolate x by dividing both sides by (2/3):
x = (16) / (2/3)
To divide by a fraction, we can invert and multiply:
x = (16) * (3/2)
Multiply:
x = 48/2
Simplify:
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.
