Rubio decides he is going to walk to his friends house which is 1 mile from his house. He can walk at a pace of 2/3 mile and 16 minutes at this rate. How long will it take him to get to his friends 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 the rate at which he walks.

Distance walked (in miles) = 1 mile
Rate of walking (in miles per minute) = 2/3 mile/16 minutes = 1/24 mile per minute

To calculate the time taken, we divide the distance by the rate:

Time taken = Distance / Rate = 1 mile / (1/24 mile per minute)
= 1 mile * (24 miles per minute)
= 24 minutes

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