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

Answer:

$12,087,912.1

Step-by-step 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:

$\frac{1,100,000,000}{91}=12,087,912.1$

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