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?
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion.
We know that Rubio can walk 23 miles in 16 minutes.
Let's set up the proportion:
23 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
Cross multiplying, we get:
23x = 16
Dividing both sides by 23, we get:
x = 16 / 23
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
x ≈ 0.695652
To convert this decimal to minutes, we multiply by 60:
0.695652 * 60 ≈ 41.73913
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 41.74 minutes to get to his friend's house.
To calculate how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion based on his pace.
Rubio walks at a pace of 23 miles in 16 minutes. We can set up the following proportion:
23 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
Now we can solve for x, which represents the time it will take Rubio to walk 1 mile:
23/16 = 1/x
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
23x = 16
Then divide both sides of the equation by 23:
x = 16/23
So it will take Rubio approximately 0.70 minutes to walk 1 mile to his friend's house.
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can use the formula:
time = distance / speed
Given that the distance Rubio needs to travel is 1 mile and his walking pace is 23 miles in 16 minutes, we can substitute these values into the formula:
time = 1 mile / (23 miles / 16 minutes)
Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses, we have:
time = 1 mile / (23/16 miles/minute)
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal:
time = 1 mile * (16/23 minutes/mile)
The miles will cancel out, and we are left with:
time = 16/23 minutes
So it will take Rubio approximately 16/23 minutes to get to his friend's house.
