Rubio decides he is going to walk to his friend's 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 friend’s house?
To calculate the time it will take Rubio to reach his friend's house, we can set up a proportion:
2/3 mile = 16 minutes.
We want to find out how many minutes it will take him to walk 1 mile, so we set up the equation:
1 mile = x minutes.
In order to solve the proportion, we can cross multiply:
2/3 * x = 1 * 16.
Simplifying this equation, we get:
2x/3 = 16.
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2:
(2x/3) * (3/2) = 16 * (3/2).
Simplifying further:
x = (16 * 3) / 2.
x = 48/2.
x = 24.
So, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.

Apologies for the confusion. Since Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, we can calculate the time it will take him to walk 1 mile by setting up a proportion:
(2/3) mile = 16 minutes
1 mile = x minutes
Cross-multiplying, we have:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
2x = 48
x = 24
Thus, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
To determine the time it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can use the given information that he can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
First, we need to calculate the time it takes for Rubio to walk 1 mile.
If he can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, we can set up a proportion:
2/3 mile ---- 16 minutes
1 mile ---- x minutes
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
2x/3 = 16
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
2x = 16 * 3
2x = 48
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 48/2
x = 24
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 using the given information.
Let's denote the time it takes for Rubio to walk 1 mile as "x" minutes.
We know that Rubio walks at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. So, we can set up the following proportion:
(2/3 mile) / (16 minutes) = (1 mile) / (x minutes)
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then solve for x:
(2/3) * x = 16 * 1
Multiplying both sides:
(2/3) * x = 16
Next, let's isolate x. To do this, we multiply both sides by (3/2):
(3/2) * (2/3) * x = (3/2) * 16
This simplifies to:
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
