Agent y was asked to conduct a detailed interview with a suspect. after 2 hours, the agent had completed 4/9 of the interview. continuing at this same rate, how long did it take agent y to complete the entire interview?

We can solve this problem by setting up an equation. Let's say that x is the total time it takes to do the interview. So far, Agent Y has completed 4/9 of the interview or 4/9x. Since 4/9 of the interview was finished in 2 hours:

4/9x = 2

We can multiply by the reciprocal of 4/9 to get x.

x = 2 * 9/4

x = 4.5

This means that it took Agent Y 4.5 hours to finish the interview.

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
