To find out how long it will take Rubio to get to his friend's house, we can set up a proportion.
Rubio walks at a pace of 2/3 mile in 16 minutes.
So, 2/3 mile takes 16 minutes.
If 2/3 mile takes 16 minutes, then 1 mile (the distance to his friend's house) would take x minutes.
Using a proportion, we can set up the equation: (2/3 mile) / 16 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes.
Cross-multiplying, we get: (2/3) * x = 16 * 1
Simplifying, we have: (2x) / 3 = 16.
Multiplying both sides by 3 to isolate x, we get: 2x = 48.
Dividing both sides by 2, we find: x = 24.
Therefore, it will take Rubio 24 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?(1 point)
