A 15-minute TV program consists of one commercial of 1 1/4 minutes long, and two equal length entertainment segment. How long is each entertainment segment?

55/8minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the entire program with commercial = 15mins

Commercial = 1 1/4 minutes

= 5/4minutes

finding the total time of the entertainment segments:

15/1 - 5/4

=( 60-5)/4

= 55/4

The length of each entertainment segment:

(55/4)÷2/1

= 55/4×1/2

= 55/8minutes

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is y = 11.54
