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 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take him to get to his friend's house?

Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. To find out how long it will take him to walk 1 mile, we can set up a proportion:
(2/3 mile) / (16 minutes) = (1 mile) / (x minutes)
Cross multiplying, we get:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16
Multiplying both sides by 3/2 to solve for x, we get:
x = (1 * 16) * (3/2)
x = 8 * 3
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
To calculate the time it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Rate
Given that Rubio can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, we can calculate his rate:
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = (2/3) mile / 16 minutes
Now, we can calculate the time it will take Rubio to walk 1 mile to his friend's house:
Time = 1 mile / (2/3 mile / 16 minutes)
Time = 1 mile * (16 minutes / 2/3 mile)
Time = 1 mile * (16 minutes * 3/2 mile)
Time = 1 mile * (48 minutes / 2 mile)
Time = 1 * 48 / 2
Time = 48 / 2
Time = 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'll need to use the information given about his walking pace.
It is stated that Rubio can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
To determine how long it will take him to walk 1 mile, we can set up a proportion.
Let's assume x represents the number of minutes it will take Rubio to walk 1 mile.
The proportion can be set up as follows:
(2/3 mile) / (16 minutes) = (1 mile) / (x minutes)
To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply and solve for x.
(2/3) * x = 16 * 1
Multiplying both sides of the equation gives us:
2x/3 = 16
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2, or divide by 2/3.
(2x/3) * (3/2) = 16 * (3/2)
Simplifying further:
x = 48/2
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
