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 23 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 can set up a proportion.
The proportion can be set up like this:
23 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
23 * x = 16 * 1
23x = 16
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 23:
x = 16 / 23
Therefore, Rubio will take approximately 0.7 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 use the formula:
time = distance / rate
Given that the distance is 1 mile and the rate is 23 miles in 16 minutes, let's calculate the time it will take Rubio to walk to his friend's house.
First, we need to convert the rate to a rate per minute since the given rate is for 16 minutes. To do this, we divide the rate by 16:
rate per minute = 23 miles / 16 minutes = 1.4375 miles per minute (rounded to four decimal places)
Now we can calculate the time it will take Rubio to walk one mile using the rate per minute:
time = distance / rate per minute
time = 1 mile / 1.4375 miles per minute
time ≈ 0.6957 minutes
Therefore, it will take approximately 0.6957 minutes for Rubio 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.
Rubio walks at a pace of 23 miles in 16 minutes.
So, the proportion can be set up as:
23 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
To find x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
23x = 16 * 1
23x = 16
Dividing both sides by 23:
x = 16 / 23 ≈ 0.6965
So, it will take him approximately 0.6965 minutes to get to his friend's house.
