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 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 x be the time it takes him to walk 1 mile.
This can be set up as the following proportion:
(2/3) mile / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
2x = 48
x = 48 / 2
x = 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 walk to his friend's house, we can set up a basic proportion.
Rubio's walking pace is 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. Let's call the time it takes him to walk to his friend's house "x" minutes.
Using the proportion:
(2/3) mile / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
Cross multiplying:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
Simplifying:
(2/3) * x = 16
Divide both sides by 2/3:
x = 16 / (2/3)
To divide by a fraction, you can invert and multiply:
x = 16 * (3/2)
Simplifying:
x = 24 minutes
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 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 a simple ratio calculation.
Given that Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, we can set up the following ratio:
(2/3 mile) : (16 minutes) = 1 mile : x minutes
To solve this proportion, we need to set up a cross-multiplication equation:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
Multiplying both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction, we get:
2x = 3 * 16
2x = 48
Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = 48 / 2
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 24 minutes to walk 1 mile to his friend's house.
