We have been given that for every 15 minutes of a show, there are two minutes to commercial. At this rate, Leila has seen 45 minutes of a show. We are asked to find the time for which Leila has been watching TV.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{\text{Minutes of TV show}}=\frac{15+2}{15}$

$\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{\text{Minutes of TV show}}=\frac{17}{15}$

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{45}=\frac{17}{15}$

$\frac{\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}}{45}\times 45=\frac{17}{15}\times 45$

$\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}=\frac{17}{1}\times 3$

$\text{Minutes of TV show + Advertisement}=51$

Therefore, Leila has been watching TV together for 51 minutes.
