Answer:

146 hours

Explanation:

GIVEN: A canadian TV station shows
16 minutes of commercials every hour between
8 am and
11 pm every day.

TO FIND: How many minutes of commercials are there on the station between
8 am and
11 pm in
365 days.

SOLUTION:

Total hours during which commercial is shown in a day
=23-8=15 hours

Total time for which commercial is shown in a day
=15*16 minutes


=240\text{ minutes}=4\text{ hours}

Total time for which commercial is there on station in a year
=365*4


=146\text{ hours}

Hence commercials are there on station for 146 hours in 365 days.
