Rubio decides he is going to walk to his friends 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 friends house
To calculate the time it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion:
(2/3 mile) / (16 minutes) = 1 mile / x minutes
Cross-multiplying, we have:
(2/3) * x = 16 * 1
Dividing both sides by (2/3):
x = (16 * 1) / (2/3) = (16/1) * (3/2) = 24 minutes
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes 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 based on the given information.
Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. Let's represent the time it takes for him to walk 1 mile as "x" minutes.
The proportion can be set up as:
(2/3 miles) / (16 minutes) = (1 mile) / (x minutes)
To solve for x, we Cross Multiply:
2/3 * x = 1 * 16
Now, multiply both sides by 3 to cancel out the fraction:
2x = 3 * 16
Simplifying the right side:
2x = 48
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to find the value of x:
x = 48 / 2
x = 24
Hence, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.
To find out how long it will take Rubio to walk to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Rubio's pace is 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. Let's express this relationship as a ratio: 2/3 miles per 16 minutes.
We want to find the time it takes for Rubio to walk 1 mile. Let's call this time 't'.
We can set up the following proportion:
(2/3) miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / t minutes
To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:
(2/3) * t = 1 * 16
Multiplying both sides of the equation:
(2t) / 3 = 16
Next, we can multiply both sides by 3 to isolate the 't' variable:
2t = 48
To solve for 't', we divide both sides by 2:
t = 48 / 2
t = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
