Rubio decides he’s going on a 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 for him to get to his friends house?
To find the time it takes for Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion. Let x be the time it takes in minutes.
Thus, the proportion would be: 2/3 mile / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes.
Cross multiplying, we get: (2/3) * x = 1 * 16.
Simplifying, we have: 2x/3 = 16.
Now, multiply both sides by 3 to get: 2x = 16 * 3.
Simplifying further, we get: 2x = 48.
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x: x = 24.
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friends' house.
To calculate the time it will take for Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion using his walking rate.
Rubio can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. Let's set up a proportion:
2/3 mile / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
First, let's cross-multiply:
(2/3) * x = 16 * 1
Now, let's solve for x by dividing both sides by (2/3):
x = (16 * 1) / (2/3)
Simplify the right side of the equation:
x = (16 * 1) * (3/2)
Multiply:
x = 16 * 3/2
x = 8 * 3
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.
To find out how long it will take for Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to calculate the time it takes for him to walk 1 mile.
Rubio can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. Let's set up a proportion to find the time it takes for him to walk 1 mile:
(2/3 mile) / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
To solve for x (the time it takes for him to walk 1 mile), we can cross-multiply:
(2/3) * x = 16 * 1
Simplifying the equation:
(2/3) * x = 16
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of (2/3), which is (3/2):
x = (16) * (3/2)
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.
