To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we need to divide the distance he needs to walk by the distance he can walk in a given amount of time.
Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
To walk 1 mile, he would need to walk 1 / (2/3) = 1 * (3/2) = 3/2 mile.
Now we can calculate how long it will take him to walk 3/2 mile.
If he can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, then he can walk 1/3 mile in 16/2 = 8 minutes.
Therefore, it will take Rubio 8 * (3/2) = 12 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 2/3 mile in 16 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take him to get to his friend's house?

Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct our calculations:
If Rubio can walk 2/3 mile in 16 minutes, we can set up a proportion to find out how long it will take him to walk 1 mile:
2/3 mile / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes.
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
(2/3) * x = 1 * 16.
2x = 48
x = 48 / 2
x = 24.
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 minutes to get to his friend's house.
