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 in 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 for Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to divide the distance by his pace.

Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, so the time it takes for 1 mile is:
1 mile * (16 minutes / 2/3 mile)

Simplifying the expression, we get:
1 mile * (16 minutes / 2/3 mile) = 1 mile * (16 minutes * 3/2) = 1 mile * (24 minutes)

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