To find out how long it will take to walk a mile based on the given information, we first need to interpret "2/3 a mile in 16 minutes."
1. If you can walk 2/3 of a mile in 16 minutes, we can find the time it takes to walk 1 mile by setting up a proportion.
2. First, let's calculate the speed in miles per minute:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{2/3 \text{ miles}}{16 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{2}{3 \times 16} = \frac{2}{48} = \frac{1}{24} \text{ miles per minute}
\]
3. To find out how long it takes to walk 1 mile, we can determine the time by calculating the inverse of the speed:
\[
\text{Time to walk 1 mile} = \frac{1 \text{ mile}}{\frac{1}{24} \text{ miles per minute}} = 1 \times 24 = 24 \text{ minutes}
\]
Therefore, it will take 24 minutes to walk a mile.
