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 need to determine his walking pace in terms of time per mile.
Since he can walk at a pace of 2-3 miles in 16 minutes, we can calculate the time for each mile by dividing 16 minutes by the distance covered in that time frame:
For the first mile, Rubio's walking pace is 2 miles in 16 minutes, so the time per mile is 16 minutes / 2 miles = 8 minutes/mile.
For the second mile, Rubio's walking pace is 3 miles in 16 minutes, so the time per mile is 16 minutes / 3 miles = 5.333... minutes/mile.
To find the average time per mile, we can calculate the mean of the two times:
Average time per mile = (8 minutes/mile + 5.333... minutes/mile) / 2 = 13.333... minutes/mile.
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 13.333... minutes to walk each mile to his friend's house. Since he has 1 mile to walk, the total time it will take him to get to his friend's house is approximately 13.333... minutes.
To determine how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to calculate his walking speed in miles per minute.
Given that Rubio walks at a pace of 2-3 miles in 16 minutes, we can find his walking speed by dividing the distance by the time. The average of 2 and 3 is 2.5, so his walking speed is 2.5 miles in 16 minutes.
Next, we can calculate the time it will take him to walk 1 mile by dividing 1 mile by his walking speed of 2.5 miles per 16 minutes:
1 mile / 2.5 miles per 16 minutes = 0.4 x 16 minutes = 6.4 minutes
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 6.4 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 calculate the time using the given pace.
Rubio can walk at a pace of 2-3 miles in 16 minutes. Let's take the lower range of his pace, which is 2 miles in 16 minutes.
To find the time it takes to walk 1 mile at this pace, we can set up a proportion:
2 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
Now, cross-multiply and solve for x:
2x = 16
x = 16 / 2
x= 8
Therefore, it will take Rubio 8 minutes to walk 1 mile to his friend's house.
