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's walking pace is 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. Therefore, his walking speed is (2/3) mile / 16 minutes = 1/8 mile per minute.
To walk 1 mile at a speed of 1/8 mile per minute, Rubio will need 1 mile / (1/8 mile per minute) = 8 minutes.
Therefore, it will take Rubio 8 minutes to get to his friend's house.
Rubio's walking pace is 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. Therefore, his walking speed is (2/3) mile / 16 minutes = 1/8 mile per minute.
To walk 1 mile at a speed of 1/8 mile per minute, Rubio will need 1 mile / (1/8 mile per minute) = 8 minutes.
Therefore, it will take Rubio 8 minutes to get to his friend's house.

I apologize for any confusion. Let's calculate it again:
Rubio's walking pace is 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. Therefore, his walking speed is (2/3) mile / 16 minutes = 1/12 mile per minute.
To walk 1 mile at a speed of 1/12 mile per minute, Rubio will need 1 mile / (1/12 mile per minute) = 12 minutes.
Therefore, it will take Rubio 12 minutes to get to his friend's house.
Rubio's walking pace is 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. Therefore, his walking speed is (2/3) mile / 16 minutes = 1/12 mile per minute.
To walk 1 mile at a speed of 1/12 mile per minute, Rubio will need 1 mile / (1/12 mile per minute) = 12 minutes.
Therefore, it will take Rubio 12 minutes to get to his friend's house.

Apologies for the previous incorrect answers. Let's calculate it correctly this time:
Rubio's walking pace is 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. To find out how long it will take him to walk 1 mile, we can set up a proportion:
(2/3 mile) : 16 minutes = 1 mile : x minutes
Cross-multiplying, we get:
(2/3) * x = 16 * 1
Simplifying, we have:
2x = 16 * 3
2x = 48
x = 48 / 2
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
