- 00:11
episode ready in four weeks And animator can produce one

Full Transcript

equals one second of an episode Meghan and land and
- 00:23
pay their animators five hundred fifty dollars per five day
- 00:27
workweek and hire the minimum number of animators needed to
- 00:30
complete the project in four weeks What is the total
- 00:33
amount the company will pay in salaries for the four
- 00:35
week period and you can just round your answer to
- 00:38
the nearest dollars It's pretty interesting here looking be there
- 00:42
Six million nine hundred some that's where i want to
- 00:45
work apparently not all right Moving on well analyzing this
- 00:48
problems like tryingto list the reasons parents should not volunteer
- 00:52
to be chaperones at their kids promise it's hard to
- 00:55
know where to start calculating the number of seconds of
- 00:57
film a single animator can produce in one day seems
- 01:00
as good a place as any so we got one
- 01:02
hundred seventy five frames a day divided by twenty five
- 01:05
frames a second neck ids of seven seconds a day
- 01:09
Well a single animator can produce seven seconds per day
- 01:12
of the film time or video time or thirty five
- 01:15
seconds a week Well a twenty four minute episode is
- 01:18
twenty four times sixty one thousand four hundred forty seconds
- 01:22
So to finish the project on time the animators must
- 01:25
produce one thousand four hundred forty seconds divided by those
- 01:29
four weeks or three hundred sixty seconds per week And
- 01:33
we divide this number by the thirty five seconds per
- 01:35
week animator to find the minimum number of animators needed
- 01:38
to accomplish the job like megan and landon maybe hitting
- 01:42
up indeed or glass door to find some more animators
- 01:44
and that gets us three sixty divided by thirty five
- 01:46
and it's about ten point three We've never met anyone
- 01:49
who we considered point two eight or a point Three
- 01:52
of an animator there so round up round down the
- 01:54
minimum number of animators needed is eleven Rounding down would
- 01:58
give us ten and don't get the wrong answer because
- 02:01
we need a third of an animator there Tio make
- 02:03
up for the difference And if you only have a
- 02:05
twenty three point two minute episode well then it's not
- 02:09
ready and the network will reject you and not you
- 02:12
and that would be bad if only ten animators were
- 02:14
toe work There'd be a problem so we need eleven
- 02:17
animators and each one makes five fifty a week over
- 02:21
four weeks So if you multiply five fifty by four
- 02:24
there you get twenty two hundred and then you multiply
- 02:27
that by eleven and you get twenty four thousand two
- 02:30
hundred bucks and there we go The answer is a 00:02:33.13 --> [endTime] for animator
