To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can use a proportion:
23 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes
Where x represents the number of minutes it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house.
To solve the proportion, we can cross-multiply:
23 miles * x minutes = 16 minutes * 1 mile
23x = 16
Now we solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 23:
x = 16 / 23
Using a calculator, we find that x is approximately 0.696, or 0.7 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 0.7 minutes to get to his friend's house.
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?

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 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take him to get to his friend’s house?
To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion. Let's call the unknown time it will take him x minutes:
(2/3 mile) / (16 minutes) = (1 mile) / (x minutes)
To solve the proportion, we can cross-multiply:
(2/3) * x = 16
Now we solve for x by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of (2/3), which is (3/2):
x = 16 * (3/2)
x = 8 * 3
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
(2/3 mile) / (16 minutes) = (1 mile) / (x minutes)
To solve the proportion, we can cross-multiply:
(2/3) * x = 16
Now we solve for x by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of (2/3), which is (3/2):
x = 16 * (3/2)
x = 8 * 3
x = 24
Therefore, it will take Rubio approximately 24 minutes to walk to his friend's house.
Stacy is painting her bedroom. She is able to paint 3/4 of the bedroom in 3 hours. At this rate, how long will it take her to paint the entire room?
To find out how long it will take Stacy to paint the entire room, we can set up a proportion. Let's call the unknown time it will take her x hours:
(3/4 of the room) / (3 hours) = (1 room) / (x hours)
To solve the proportion, we can cross-multiply:
(3/4) * x = 3
Now we solve for x by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of (3/4), which is (4/3):
x = 3 * (4/3)
x = 4
Therefore, it will take Stacy approximately 4 hours to paint the entire room.
(3/4 of the room) / (3 hours) = (1 room) / (x hours)
To solve the proportion, we can cross-multiply:
(3/4) * x = 3
Now we solve for x by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of (3/4), which is (4/3):
x = 3 * (4/3)
x = 4
Therefore, it will take Stacy approximately 4 hours to paint the entire room.
