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.

You have 20 cookies total in the jar.  The probability of choosing an oatmeal is 4/20, and the probability of choosing a peanut butter cookie is 8/20.  In order to find the probability of pulling a peanut butter cookie OR an oatmeal cookie, we have to add the probabilities together.  8/20 + 4/20 = 12/20 or 6/10 or 3/5.  The answer is C.
