Rubio decides he’s going on a walk to his friends house which is 1 mile from his house. He can walk out a piece of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes at a 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 determine the total time it takes him to walk the entire distance.
Given that he can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, and the total distance to his friend's house is 1 mile, we can set up the proportion:
2/3 mile / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
Cross multiplying, we have:
2/3 * x = 1 * 16
Multiplying both sides by 3/2 to isolate x, we get:
x = (1 * 16) / (2/3)
x = 16 * 3/2
x = 24 minutes
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.
