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?(1 point

Answer 1

To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to divide the distance (1 mile) by his pace (2/3 mile in 16 minutes).

First, we need to determine how many times Rubio's pace fits into 1 mile:

1 mile / (2/3 mile in 16 minutes) = 1 / (2/3) * (16/1) = 1 * 3/2 * 1/16 = 3/32

Next, we need to calculate how long it will take Rubio to cover this distance:

(3/32) * 16 minutes = (3 * 16) / 32 = 48 / 32 = 1.5 minutes

Therefore, it will take Rubio 1.5 minutes to get to his friend's house.
