Question

commercials take up 36% of television broadcasting time how many hours of commercials would a person after watching 12.5 hours of television

Answer 1

To find out how many hours of commercials a person would watch after watching 12.5 hours of television, you can multiply the total time watched by the percentage of time that is commercials.

1. Convert the percentage of commercials from a percentage to a decimal.
\[
36\% = 0.36
\]

2. Multiply the total hours of television watched by the decimal:
\[
\text{Commercials} = 12.5 \text{ hours} \times 0.36 = 4.5 \text{ hours}
\]

So, if a person watched 12.5 hours of television, they would have watched **4.5 hours of commercials**.
