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?(1 point)
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to divide the distance to be covered by the pace at which he walks.
Rubio's pace is 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
So, the time it will take him to walk 1 mile will be (16 minutes / (2/3) mile).
Multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3/2 gives us (16 minutes * (3/2)) / 1 mile.
Thus, it will take him (48 minutes) / 1 mile, or simply 48 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 need to divide the total distance by his walking pace.
Rubio can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
First, we calculate his walking speed per minute by dividing his pace (2/3 mile) by the time (16 minutes):
Walking speed per minute = 2/3 mile ÷ 16 minutes
To simplify this calculation, convert the mixed fraction (2/3) into a decimal. The fraction 2/3 is equivalent to 0.6667:
Walking speed per minute = 0.6667 mile ÷ 16 minutes
Next, we can calculate how long it will take Rubio to walk 1 mile:
Time to walk 1 mile = 1 mile ÷ walking speed per minute
Substituting the value of walking speed per minute into the equation:
Time to walk 1 mile = 1 mile ÷ (0.6667 mile ÷ 16 minutes)
To simplify this calculation, divide 1 mile by 0.6667 mile, which is approximately 1.5002:
Time to walk 1 mile = 1.0000 ÷ 1.5002
Finally, calculate the time it will take Rubio to walk to his friend's house:
Time = Time to walk 1 mile × Distance to friend's house
We know the distance to his friend's house is 1 mile, so substituting that into the equation:
Time = 1.0000 ÷ 1.5002 × 1 mile
Simplifying the calculation:
Time = 0.6667 minutes × 1 mile
Therefore, it will take him approximately 0.6667 minutes, or about 0 minutes and 40 seconds, 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 given information about his walking pace. We know that Rubio can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
To find out how long it will take for him to walk 1 mile (the distance to his friend's house), we can set up a proportion.
Let x represent the time it takes for Rubio to get to his friend's house.
Therefore, we have the proportion:
(2/3 mile) / (16 minutes) = 1 mile / x minutes
Now we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
2x/3 = 16
Next, we can simplify the equation by multiplying both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
2x = 16 * 3
2x = 48
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 2:
x = 48 / 2
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house at his walking pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
