you reproduce the commercial at 20 frames every second, to find how many seconds do you need to reproduce 100 frames, we can use the next proportion:


\frac{20\text{ frames}}{100\text{ frames}}=\frac{1\text{ second}}{x\text{ seconds}}

Solving for x:


\begin{gathered} 20\cdot x=1\cdot100 \\ x=(100)/(20) \\ x=5\text{ seconds} \end{gathered}
