## anonymous 3 years ago 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... • This Question is Closed 1. anonymous ok so do u know how to start? 2. anonymous you could change everything to a standard unit(e.g. seconds) 3. anonymous ya that is what i tried and obviously its not working for me 4. anonymous 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. 5. anonymous Remember, with hours, you need to times 3600(or 60*60) 6. anonymous Since first you need to convert to minutes, then seconds. 7. anonymous would the typical equation be typed out as $1000\div4 mins 48 seconds (all written \in seconds)=x \div4 hours 15 mins written \in seconds?$ 8. anonymous Yes. That looks about right. 9. anonymous ok im still clueless 10. anonymous 4 min 48 sec=14400 in sec right? 11. anonymous What's (4*60)+48? 12. anonymous ok there is my 288 13. anonymous yes. 14. anonymous Now you want to convert 4hrs 15mins into seconds. 15. anonymous ok now to calculate the other is where im falling short at the answer to the prob is$53,125.00

16. anonymous

yes

17. anonymous

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

18. anonymous

To make it easier, (4*60*60)+(15*60)

19. anonymous

ok that is what i got

20. anonymous

so what's the answer for that? we're not done yet. we still have two more steps after this.

21. anonymous

he answer fof the above prob is 15300 t

22. anonymous

yes. Now, take 15300 and divide by 288. Then, multiply by 1000.

23. anonymous

upy

24. anonymous

yup

25. anonymous
