Rubio decided 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 Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion.
Rubio can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. Let's call the time it takes for him to get to his friend's house x minutes.
The proportion can be set up as:
2/3 mile / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
2/3 * x = 16 * 1
2x/3 = 16
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the denominator:
2x = 48
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:
x = 48 / 2 = 24
Therefore, 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 need to set up a proportion based on his walking pace.
Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. We want to find out how long it will take him to walk 1 mile.
Let's set up the proportion:
(2/3 miles) / (16 minutes) = (1 mile) / (x minutes)
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
2/3 * x = 1 * 16
Now, let's solve for x by multiplying:
2x/3 = 16
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides by 3/2:
(2x/3) * (3/2) = 16 * (3/2)
This simplifies to:
x = 48/2
x = 24 minutes
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 24 minutes to get to his friend's house at his walking pace.
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.
Given that Rubio walks at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, we can form the equation:
(2/3 mile) / (16 minutes) = (1 mile) / (x minutes)
To solve for x, we can use cross-multiplication:
2 * x = 3 * 16
2x = 48
Dividing both sides by 2, we find:
x = 48 / 2
x = 24
Hence, it will take Rubio approximately 24 minutes to get to his friend's house at his current pace.
