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.

Answer:

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 2 triangles, ∆ABC and ∆DEF.

For the two trinagles to be considered similar, both must have their set of corresponding angles congruent to each other. That is, their corresponding angles are equal.

From the information given, the following are the set of corresponding angles:

<B = <E = 31°

<B = <D = 90°

<C = <F = 59° [180 - (90+31)]

The corresponding angles of both triangles are congruent. Therefore, it is guaranteed that ∆ABC is similar to ∆DEF (∆ABC ~ DEF).

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Audrey was charged $3 for each withdrawal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the amount of money charged on one transaction.

In order to find the amount for one ATM withdrawal, the total amount for ATM withdrawals will be divided by number of withdrawals.

Given

Total\ ATM\ withdrawal\ fees = \$51\\Total\ withdrawals = 17\\Amount\ for\ one\ withdrawal = \frac{Total\ fees}{No.\ of\ withdrawals}\\= \frac{51}{17}\\= \$3

Hence,

Audrey was charged $3 for each withdrawal.
