Answer:

55/8minutes

Explanation:

Given that the entire program with commercial = 15mins

Commercial = 1 1/4 minutes

= 5/4minutes

finding the total time of the entertainment segments:

15/1 - 5/4

=( 60-5)/4

= 55/4

The length of each entertainment segment:

(55/4)÷2/1

= 55/4×1/2

= 55/8minutes
