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 find how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion. We know that he can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, so the proportion is:
(2/3 mile) / (16 minutes) = (1 mile) / (x minutes)
First, we can cross multiply to get:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
Next, we can simplify:
2x/3 = 16
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides by 3:
2x = 48
Finally, we can divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = 24
Therefore, 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 based on his walking pace.
Rubio walks at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
So, we can set up the following proportion:
2/3 mile / 16 minutes = 1 mile / X minutes
To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:
(2/3) * X = 16 * 1
Simplifying the equation:
2X/3 = 16
Multiplying both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
2X = 48
Dividing both sides by 2:
X = 24
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, you can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Rate
Given that Rubio can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, we can use the rate of 2/3 mile per 16 minutes to calculate the time it takes to walk 1 mile.
First, we need to find the rate at which Rubio walks:
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = (2/3) mile / 16 minutes
Now, we can use this rate to find the time it takes to walk 1 mile:
Time = 1 mile / Rate
Time = 1 mile / [(2/3) mile / 16 minutes]
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
Time = 1 mile * (16 minutes / (2/3) mile)
Next, we can simplify the expression by canceling out the miles:
Time = 1 * (16 minutes / (2/3))
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
Time = 1 * (16 minutes * (3/2))
Now, multiply the values:
Time = 16 minutes * (3/2)
16 minutes multiplied by 3 is 48, and then divide that by 2:
Time = 48 minutes / 2
Time = 24 minutes
Therefore, it will take Rubio about 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.
