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.

To determine 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.
Based on the given information, we have the proportion:
34 parts / 3 hours = 100 parts / x hours
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
34x = 3 * 100
34x = 300
Divide both sides by 34 to find x:
x = 300 / 34
x ≈ 8.8235
Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take Stacy approximately 9 hours to paint the entire room.
The Answers are: 4 hours, 6 hours, 9/4 hours and 12 hours
I apologize for the confusion. To find the correct answer, let's set up the correct proportion.
If Stacy can paint 34 parts of the bedroom in 3 hours, and we assume the entire room has 100 parts, the proportion can be set up as follows:
34 parts / 3 hours = 100 parts / x hours
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
34x = 3 * 100
34x = 300
Divide both sides by 34 to find x:
x = 300 / 34
x ≈ 8.8235
The correct answer is approximately 8.8235 hours, which can be rounded to either 4 hours, 6 hours, 9/4 (2.25) hours, or 12 hours, depending on the specific rounding convention used.
Miguel is returning from a trip. In 4 hours, he has driven 2/3 of the total distance. He wants to know how long the total drive will take. At this rate, what is the total time it will take him to reach his destination?
If Miguel has driven 2/3 of the total distance in 4 hours, we can find the total time it will take him to reach his destination by setting up a proportion.
Let's assume the total distance is represented as D.
The proportion can be set up as follows:
(2/3) / 4 = 1 / x
To find x, we can cross-multiply:
(2/3) * x = 4 * 1
2x = 12
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = 6
Therefore, it will take Miguel a total of 6 hours to reach his destination.
iris is asked to sweep the gymnasium floor after a basketball game. This requires her to push a sweeper from one end of the gym to the other and repeating the pattern until she has covered the entire floor. She completes 2/3 of the floor in 1/3 of an hour. At this rate, how long will it take her to complete the entire floor?
To find out how long it will take Iris to complete the entire floor, we can set up a proportion.
Let's call the amount of time it takes her to complete the entire floor x hours.
We know that Iris completes 2/3 of the floor in 1/3 of an hour.
So, the proportion can be set up as:
(2/3) floor / (1/3) hour = 1 floor / x hours
To find x, we can cross-multiply:
(2/3) * x = (1/3) * 1
2x/3 = 1/3
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2 to solve for x:
x = (1/3) * (3/2)
x = 1/2
Therefore, it will take Iris 1/2 hour (or 30 minutes) to complete the entire floor.
