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?

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion.

The proportion can be set up like this:
23 miles / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
23 * x = 16 * 1
23x = 16

Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 23:
x = 16 / 23

Therefore, Rubio will take approximately 0.7 minutes to get to his friend's house.
