Question

I need to find a calculation for the following: actor makes $1000 every 4 minutes and 48 seconds, todays taping runs for 4 hours and 15 minutes...

Answer 1

ok so do u know how to start?

Answer 2

you could change everything to a standard unit(e.g. seconds)

Answer 3

ya that is what i tried and obviously its not working for me

Answer 4

Try working it out again. After you've gotten the total number of seconds that he works, divide it by [(4*60)+48] then multiply the answer by 1000.

Answer 5

Remember, with hours, you need to times 3600(or 60*60)

Answer 6

Since first you need to convert to minutes, then seconds.

Answer 7

would the typical equation be typed out as \[1000\div4 mins 48 seconds (all written \in seconds)=x \div4 hours 15 mins written \in seconds?\]

Answer 8

Yes. That looks about right.

Answer 16

Answer 17

what do you get in seconds after converting 4hrs 15mins?
