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 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take him to get to his friend’s house?
To find how long it will take Rubio to walk to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion. Let's call the amount of time it takes him to walk to his friend's house x minutes.
We know that Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. We can set up the proportion:
2/3 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
To find x, we can cross-multiply:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = 8
So it will take Rubio 8 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
Wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. So, for 1 mile, he will take (16 minutes)/(2/3) = (16 minutes) * (3/2) = 24 minutes.
Therefore, it will take him 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
Thank you it's now right
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Stacy is painting her bedroom. She is able to paint 34 of the bedroom in 3 hours. At this rate, how long will it take her to paint the entire room?
To find out how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire room, we can set up a proportion. Let's call the amount of time it takes her to paint the entire room x hours.
We know that Stacy can paint 34 parts of the bedroom in 3 hours. We can set up the proportion:
34 parts / 3 hours = 100 parts / x hours
To find x, we can cross-multiply:
34x = 3 * 100
34x = 300
Divide both sides by 34 to solve for x:
x = 300 / 34
x ≈ 8.82
So it will take Stacy approximately 8.82 hours to paint the entire room.
wrong mate
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct it.
If Stacy can paint 34 parts of the bedroom in 3 hours, we need to determine how many parts make up the entire room. Once we have that information, we can set up a proportion to find the time it takes her to paint the entire room.
Let's assume that the entire room is made up of 100 parts (for simplicity).
Stacy can paint 34 parts in 3 hours, so the proportion can be set up as follows:
34 parts / 3 hours = 100 parts / x hours
To find x, we can cross-multiply:
34x = 3 * 100
34x = 300
Divide both sides by 34 to solve for x:
x = 300 / 34
x ≈ 8.82
Therefore, it will take Stacy approximately 8.82 hours to paint the entire room.
