Question

Thanks for your help! It is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

`16\ minutes`

Explanation:

For every
`24\ minutes` of television time of commercials =
`6\ minutes`

% of commercials
`\=frac{6}{24}* 100=25\%`

Now when time of television
`=1\ hour\ 36\ minutes=60+36=96\ minutes`

`25 \%\ of 96=(25)/(100)* 96=(96)/(4)=16\ minutes`
