Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. During a commercial break in the Super Bowl, there were three 5-minute commercials and eleven 2-minute commercials. How many minutes was the commercial break?
The 5 - minute commercials were 3 * 5 = 15 minutes in total. The 2 - minute commercials were 2 * 11 - 22 minutes in total. The commercial break was 15 + 22 = 37 minutes long.
The final answer: 37.
