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

1 answer

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.
