Standard movie projectors project 24 still images, known as frames, each second. If a certain movie uses the standard frame rate and has exactly 129600 total frames, then, to the nearest whole minute, how long is the movie?
Q. Standard movie projectors project 24 still images, known as frames, each second. If a certain movie uses the standard frame rate and has exactly 129600 total frames, then, to the nearest whole minute, how long is the movie?
Identify Given Information: Identify the given information and what needs to be calculated.We know:- The standard frame rate for movie projectors is 24 frames per second.- The total number of frames in the movie is 129600.We need to calculate the total duration of the movie in minutes.
Calculate Duration in Seconds: Calculate the total duration of the movie in seconds.To find the duration in seconds, we divide the total number of frames by the frame rate per second.Total duration in seconds = Total number of frames ÷ Frame rate per secondTotal duration in seconds = 129600÷24
Perform Division for Seconds: Perform the division to find the total duration in seconds.Total duration in seconds = 129600÷24Total duration in seconds = 5400
Convert to Minutes: Convert the total duration from seconds to minutes.Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, we divide the total duration in seconds by 60 to find the duration in minutes.Total duration in minutes = Total duration in seconds ÷60Total duration in minutes =5400÷60
Perform Division for Minutes: Perform the division to find the total duration in minutes.Total duration in minutes = 5400÷60Total duration in minutes = 90
