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 23 mile in 16 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take him to get to his friend’s house?(1 point)
minutes
To find out how long it will take for Rubio to walk 1 mile at a pace of 23 miles in 16 minutes, we can set up a proportion:
23 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
Cross-multiplying, we get:
23x = 1 * 16
23x = 16
Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by 23 to isolate x:
x = 16 / 23
Calculating this, we find:
x ≈ 0.6965
So, it will take approximately 0.6965 minutes for Rubio to walk to his friend's house.
Wrong
Apologies for the previous incorrect response. Let's resolve it correctly now.
To find out how long it will take Rubio to walk 1 mile at a pace of 23 miles in 16 minutes, we can set up a proportion:
23 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
Cross-multiplying, we get:
23x = 16 * 1
23x = 16
Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 23 to isolate x:
x = 16 / 23
Calculating this, we find:
x ≈ 0.6957
So, it will take approximately 0.6957 minutes for Rubio 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 it takes him to walk 1 mile.
Rubio's pace is 23 miles in 16 minutes, so the time it takes him to walk 1 mile can be calculated using the proportion:
23 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
Cross-multiplying, we get:
23x = 16 * 1
23x = 16
Now, we can solve for "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 23:
x = 16 / 23
So, Rubio will take approximately 0.6956 minutes to walk 1 mile, or approximately 0.7 minutes.
Thus, it will take him approximately 0.7 minutes to get to his friend's house.
To calculate the time it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to determine how many times he will walk 1 mile at his pace.
Rubio's pace is 23 miles in 16 minutes. So, in 1 minute, he will walk 23/16 mile.
To find out how many minutes it will take him to walk 1 mile, we can set up the following proportion:
(23/16 mile) / (1 minute) = 1 mile / x minutes
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply, which gives us:
(23/16) * x = 1
To isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by (23/16):
x = 1 / (23/16)
To divide fractions, we can multiply by the reciprocal:
x = 1 * (16/23)
Multiplying across, we get:
x = 16/23
So, it will take Rubio approximately 16/23 minutes to walk 1 mile to his friend's house.
