DURING A REGULAR HALF-HOUR TV SHOW THERE ARE 8 MINUTES OF COMMERCIALS. IF EACH COMMERCIAL IS 0.25 MINUTES LONG HOW MANY COMMERCIALS WILL BE SHOWN DURING THAT SHOW?

Respuesta :

ok so there are 8 min of commercials and if each commercial is .25 minutes. what I did was 8 × 60 to get how many seconds there were. which = 480 and then I did .25 min × 60 and got 15 so I subtracted 15 from 480 and got 7.75
but it says how many commercials so you have to round to the full commercial and you get 8
so I think the answer is 8 or 7.75.
8 minutes of total commercial time
0.25 minutes for each commercial
8/0.25=32 commercials on total
