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

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to divide the distance by his walking pace.

Rubio can walk 2/3 of a mile in 16 minutes.

So, to walk 1 mile, he will take 16 * (1 / (2/3)) = 16 * (3/2) = 48/2 = 24 minutes.

Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.

Answer 2

Find the quotient of 1/2 and 12/7

Answer 3

To find the quotient of 1/2 and 12/7, we need to divide 1/2 by 12/7.

To divide fractions, we invert the second fraction and multiply.

So, the quotient of 1/2 and 12/7 is:

(1/2) * (7/12) = (1 * 7) / (2 * 12) = 7/24

Therefore, the quotient of 1/2 and 12/7 is 7/24.
