Rubio decides 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 out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to set up a proportion.
Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
We need to find out how long it will take him to walk 1 mile.
Let's set up the proportion:
(2/3 miles)/(16 minutes) = (1 mile)/(x minutes)
To solve this proportion, we cross multiply:
(2/3)(x minutes) = (1 mile)(16 minutes)
2x = 3*16
2x = 48
x = 48/2
x = <<48/2=24>>24
It will take Rubio 24 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 can set up a proportion using the information given.
Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
First, let's determine the rate at which Rubio walks:
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = (2/3) mile / 16 minutes
Now, let's set up a proportion using the given distance to his friend's house (1 mile) and the rate at which Rubio walks.
(2/3) mile is to 16 minutes as 1 mile is to x minutes.
(2/3) / 16 = 1 / x
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
(2/3) * x = 16 * 1
2x/3 = 16
Multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
2x = 48
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = 24
Therefore, it will take 24 minutes for Rubio to get to his friend's house.
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to determine the time it takes for him to walk 1 mile at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
First, we can write the proportion:
(distance walked)/(time taken) = (distance to friend's house)/(time to get there)
In this case, we want to find the time to get to his friend's house, so we have:
1 mile / (time taken) = 2/3 mile / 16 minutes
To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:
1 mile * 16 minutes = 2/3 mile * (time taken)
Simplifying the equation gives us:
16 minutes = (2/3) * (time taken)
To isolate the variable, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2/3:
16 minutes / (2/3) = time taken
Simplifying further:
16 minutes * (3/2) = time taken
Multiplying both sides of the equation gives us:
48 minutes = time taken
Therefore, it will take Rubio 48 minutes to get to his friend's house.
