Question
One of the longest movies ever made is a 1970 British film that runs for 48 hours. Assuming that the film speed is 24 frames per second, approximate the total number of frames in this film. Express your answer in scientific form.
Step 1
We know that 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds. Therefore, the total time of the movie in seconds is 48 hours multiplied by 3600 seconds/hour. \[48 \, \text{hours} \times 3600 \, \text{s/hour} = 172800 \, \text{seconds}\] Show more…
