There are six minutes of commercials for every 24 minutes of television how many minutes of commercials are there in one hour and 36 minutes of television

1 answer

To determine the number of minutes of commercials in 1 hour and 36 minutes of television, we first need to find the total number of 24-minute segments in 1 hour and 36 minutes.

1 hour and 36 minutes is equivalent to 60 + 36 = <<60+36=96>>96 minutes.

Each 24-minute segment of television has 6 minutes of commercials. Therefore, we divide the total number of minutes by 24 to find the number of segments: 96 / 24 = <<96/24=4>>4 segments.

To find the total number of minutes of commercials, we multiply the number of segments by the length of commercials in each segment: 4 segments * 6 minutes = <<4*6=24>>24 minutes.

Therefore, there are 24 minutes of commercials in one hour and 36 minutes of television.
