Answer:

150 minutes (2.5 hours)

Step-by-step explanation:

We must consider that the total time that the radio program lasted  represents the 100%.

Of that 100% we are told that 20% is dedicated to commercials. So the 30 minutes of commercials correspond to 20% of the air time, which can be represented in the following table:

Percentage of time             time

        20%                       ⇒     30min

and we are looking for how long the show was on the air (the 100%).

So updating the table( I will call x the total time on the air):

Percentage of time             time

        20%                       ⇒     30min

        100%                       ⇒     x

This reationship between three values can be solve by the<u> rule of three</u>: multiply the cross quantities on the table (100 by 30) and divide by the remaining amount (20):

x = 100*30 / 20

x= 3000 / 20

x = 150 minutes

The radio show was 150 minutes (2.5 hours) long.

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is -3 and thefifth term is 53 what is the common difference of the sequence
ioda

In an arithmetic sequence, you start from the first element, and then you generate the next one by adding a common difference.

So, let's say you start from x and add a common difference of d. The first elements are

a_1=x

a_2=x+d

a_3=(x+d)+d=x+2d

a_4=(x+2d)+d=x+3d

a_5=(x+3d)+d=x+4d

Since we know that a_5 = 53, and x = -3, we can solve for d:

a_5 = x+4d \iff 53 = -3+4d \iff 56 = 4d \iff d = \dfrac{56}{4} = 14

So, the common difference is 14
