Answer: 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation: First we can reduce the fraction 2/4 by dividing the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 2 and 4.

Since the factors of 2 are 1 and 2 and the factors of 4 are 1, 2, and 4, the greatest common factor of 2 and 4 is 2. So we divide the numerator and the denominator of 2/4 by 2 and we get the equivalent fraction 1/2.

Now we can change the question to say <em>1/2 of an hour is how many minutes?</em>

We know that 1 hour is equivalent to 60 minutes so half of 1 hour would be 30 minutes.

Therefore, 2/4 of an hour is 30 minutes.

the graph of a liner function passes through the two gives ponits on the coordintes plne (3,15) (6,21) what is the rate of chang

slega [8]

Answer:

The rate of change of the function is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that if the graph of a liner function passes through the two gives points on the coordinate plane, then the rate of change of the function will be the slope of the given line.

The points are:

(3, 15)

(6, 21)

$\mathrm{Slope\:between\:two\:points}:\quad \mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(3,\:15\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(6,\:21\right)$

$m=\frac{21-15}{6-3}$

$m=2$

Therefore, the rate of change of the function is 2.

121=3.14*3*square root of r^2+h^2

kati45 [8]

First, isolate . To do so, divide both sides by .Then, eliminate the radical. So, square both sides of the equation To have h^2 only at the right side, subtract both sides by r^2.And, to have h only, take the square root of both sides of equation

An insurance agent receives 16% commission on every premium paid. How much commission is paid on a policy with a premium of $497

ollegr [7]

Here we are given the information that an insurance agent receives 16% commission on every premium paid.

Now we are given that a premium of $497.69 is paid.

Let us say $x is the commission paid on the policy with a premium of $497.69.

Let us try to find the amount x here.

So we have to find 16% of 497.69 to get the commission amount x.

So finding 16% of 497.69.

x= 16% of 497.69 = 0.16*497.69 = 79.63

Answer: Commission of $79.63 is paid on a policy with a premium of $497.69.
