Answer:

10 hours

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, you must assume that all air time not spent on news is spent on music & entertainment. That would usually not be the case, as there would usually be advertisements and public service programming along with everything else.

The time spent on news is ...

(1/6)(12 hours) = 2 hours

If the rest is spent on music and entertainment, then ...

12 -2 = 10 . . . hours are used for music and entertainment
