Verified Answer :

for one show it will be 23.1 minutes if you multiply 2.30 minutes by 3 and get 6.9 you subtract 6.9 from the 30 minutes and you should 23.1 minutes 

The length of each segment can be determine by subtract the length of three commercial.

The length of each segment is 5 minute 37.5 seconds.

Given:

Duration of TV program is 30 minute.

Duration of TV commercials is \(2\frac{1}{2} \:\rm minutes\).

Calculate the total length of three commercials.

\(\begin{aligned}\rm {Total\: length}=(2\frac{1}{2})\times3\\=2.5\times 3\\=7.5\\\end\)

Subtract 7.5 from total 30  min TV program.

\(=30-7.5\\=22.5\)

Now calculate the equal length of entertainment segments.

\(\begin{aligned} \rm {Equal\: Length}=\frac{22.5}{4}\\= 5.625 \:\rm min\\\\=5 \:\rm min\:\rm and\: 37.5\: second\end\)

Thus, the length of each segment is 5 minute 37.5 seconds.
