Question

A certain animated movie earned $1.1*10^9 in revenues at the box office. The movie lasts 9.1*10^1 minutes. How much revenue was earned per minute of the movie?

Answer 1

$12,087,912.1

Explanation:

`1.1*10^9` is in scientific notation, to get this into normal number, we take the decimal point and move it "9" times to the right [whatever power of 10 we have, we move to right (if positive).] Then we fillup the rest with zeros.

So we have:

`1.1*10^9=1,100,000,000`

This is the revenue.

We do similar process for time:

`9.1*10^1=91`

This is the time , in minutes.

We want revenue PER minute, that means we divide the total revenue by total time, that would be:

`(1,100,000,000)/(91)=12,087,912.1`

The revenue earned per minute is $12,087,912.1
