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