Answer:

The correct number of hours is 15/6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to get the total number of hours that Irina used in watching the movie which does not include the term used for airing the commercials.

Now to calculate this, let us first take a look at the shaded segmented bar. We can see that out of the 6 horizontal bars, 5 were shaded. What this means is that 5/6 of the hours went into airing the movie while 1/6 of the hour went into airing commercials

Now, mathematically the number of hours she viewed the movie without the commercials can be calculated by adding all these 5/6 hour in the 3 hours

Mathematically that would be 5/6 + 5/6 + 5/6 = 3 (5/6) or simply 3 * 5/6 = 5/2 = 15/6 hours
