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? (1 point)
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to find out how many 2/3-mile distances are in 1 mile.
To find this out, we can divide 1 mile by 2/3 mile:
1 mile รท 2/3 mile = 1 * 3/2 = 3/2
Therefore, Rubio will need to walk 3/2 of a 2/3-mile distance to get to his friend's house.
To find out how long it will take him to walk this distance, we can multiply the distance by the time it takes to walk each 2/3-mile distance:
3/2 * 16 minutes = (3 * 16) / 2 = 48 / 2 = 24 minutes
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.
