Question

A Canadian television station shows 16 minutes of commercials every hour between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. every day.

Answer 1

There are 16 minutes of commercials per hour from 8 A.M to 11 P.M

First, we have to find out how many hours is 8 A.M to 11 P.M

The hours are: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.

So, it is 16 hours from 8 A.M to 11 P.M

Then, we multiply multiply 16 by 16 to find out how many minutes of commercials are in 16 hours.

16 x 16 = 256

So, there is 256 minutes of commercials in 16 hours.

Lastly, multiply 256 by 365 to see how many minutes of commercials are in one year.

256 x 365 = 93,440

Therefore, there are 93,440 minutes of commercials in a year.

Answer 2

There’s exactly 1,205 commercials in 365 days from 8 to 10
