Rubio decides he is going to walk to his friend's house, which is 1 mile from his house. He car walk at a pace of 7, mile in 16 minutes. At this rats, how long will it take him to get to his friend's house? (1 point)
wrong
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can use the formula:
time = distance / rate
Given that the distance is 1 mile and Rubio's walking pace is 7 miles in 16 minutes, we can substitute these values into the formula to solve for time:
time = 1 mile / (7 miles / 16 minutes)
Simplifying the equation, we have:
time = 1 * 16 / 7
time = 16 / 7
Dividing 16 by 7, we get:
time ≈ 2.29 minutes
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 2.29 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 calculate the time it takes for him to walk 1 mile at his pace of 7 miles in 16 minutes.
To calculate this, we can set up a proportion:
7 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
Cross-multiplying:
7x = 16 * 1
Simplifying:
7x = 16
Dividing both sides by 7:
x = 16 / 7
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 2.29 minutes (or 2 minutes and 17 seconds) to get to his friend's house.
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion:
7 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
Cross-multiplying, we have:
7x = 16
Dividing both sides by 7, we get:
x = 16/7
Therefore, it will take him approximately 2.2857 minutes to get to his friend's house.
