Answer:

There are 17.4 minutes of commercials are shown each hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

An hour has 60 minutes.

So in 3 hours, there are 3*60 = 180 minutes.

The commercials show 29% of the time.

So we have 0.29*180 = 52.2 minutes, in total, of commercial.

Per hour, we have 52.2/3 = 17.4 minutes of commercial.
