For every [tex]24\ minutes[/tex] of television time of commercials = [tex]6\ minutes[/tex]

% of commercials [tex]\=frac{6}{24}\times 100=25\%[/tex]

Now when time of television[tex]=1\ hour\ 36\ minutes=60+36=96\ minutes[/tex]

[tex]25 \%\ of 96=\frac{25}{100}\times 96=\frac{96}{4}=16\ minutes[/tex]
