Question

The rule of thumb in filmmaking is that you must shoot at least 3 minutes of film for every minute in a movies “final cut”. A 30 minute roll of film cost $250. How much will film cost to make a 90 minute movie?

Please explain how to do this problem! I can’t figure it out!

Answer 1

You add 250 to the price for every 30 minutes, so it would cost $750 for 90 minutes of film.
However, since you have to shoot three minutes for every one minute in the final cut, you would multiply that by 3. So I think it would be 2,250

Answer 2

30 mins = $250
60 mins = $500
90 mins = $750

since every 30 mins cost $250 you just add $250 for every 30 mins
so the answer is $750.
