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 and 16 minutes at this rate. How long will it take him to get to his friends house?
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to divide the distance by the rate at which he walks.
Distance walked (in miles) = 1 mile
Rate of walking (in miles per minute) = 2/3 mile/16 minutes = 1/24 mile per minute
To calculate the time taken, we divide the distance by the rate:
Time taken = Distance / Rate = 1 mile / (1/24 mile per minute)
= 1 mile * (24 miles per minute)
= 24 minutes
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
To find out how long it will take for Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to divide the distance to travel by his walking pace.
Rubio's walking pace is 2/3 mile per 16 minutes, which can be simplified to 1/3 mile per 8 minutes (by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2).
So, to walk 1 mile, Rubio would take (1 mile / 1/3 mile per 8 minutes) minutes.
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal, so the calculation becomes:
1 mile * (8 minutes / 1/3 mile) = 8 * 3 = 24 minutes.
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.
To calculate 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.
We know that Rubio can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
To find the time it takes to walk 1 mile, we can set up a proportion:
(2/3 mile) / (16 minutes) = (1 mile) / (x minutes)
We can cross multiply and solve for x:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
Multiplying both sides of the equation:
2x/3 = 16
To isolate x, multiply both sides by 3/2:
(2x/3) * (3/2) = 16 * (3/2)
2x = 24
Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = 24 / 2
x = 12
Therefore, it will take Rubio 12 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
