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?(1 point) minutes
To find the time it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to set up a proportion using the given information.
We know that Rubio can walk 23 miles in 16 minutes.
Using this ratio, we can set up the proportion: 23 miles/16 minutes = 1 mile/x minutes
Cross-multiplying, we get: 23x = 16
Solving for x, we get: x ≈ 0.6957
So, it will take Rubio approximately 0.6957 minutes to get to his friend's house, which is approximately 42 seconds.
