Answer 1

Answer:

$16\ minutes$

Step-by-step explanation:

For every $24\ minutes$ of television time of commercials = $6\ minutes$

% of commercials $\=frac{6}{24}\times 100=25\%$

Now when time of television$=1\ hour\ 36\ minutes=60+36=96\ minutes$

$25 \%\ of 96=\frac{25}{100}\times 96=\frac{96}{4}=16\ minutes$
