TSI Math: Converting Units to Calculate How Much Animators Get Paid
Recommendation
Want a study guide too?
Sharona and Leslie just opened their own animation studio, and their first client wants a 24-minute episode ready in 4 weeks. An animator can produce 175 frames a day, and 25 frames equals 1 second of an episode.
Sharona and Leslie pay their animators $550 per five-day workweek and hire the minimum number of animators needed to complete the project in 4 weeks.
What is the total amount the company will pay in salaries for the 4-week period? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

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