Question

For every 24 minutes of television, there are 6 minutes of commercials. How many minutes of commercials are there in one hour and 36 minutes of television?

Answer 1

Well lets take this step by step:

24 minutes tv - 6 minutes commercial = 18 minutes of tv

1 hour = 60 min

60 + 36 = 96

96/24 = 4 so that means 24 + 24 + 24 + 24 = 96

so all you do now is this:

since 24 - 6 is 18 multiply 18 by 4 to get 72

so the answer is 72 minutes of tv
