Question

A movie made $297.2 million in 22 weeks. How much did the movie make on average each week?

Answer 1

297.2 ÷ 22 = 13.5 Remainder 2. Explanation: 22 can only go 1 time into 29. So 29-22=7. 22 cannot go into 7, so add the 7 from 297.2 to the answer, 7. 22 can go into 77, 3 times. So 77-66=11. 22 cannot go into 11, so add the last 2 from 297.2 to the answer, 2. 22 can go into 112, 5 times. So 112-110=2. Thus, you get your answer, 13.5 Remainder 2.
