3100000/30

Its 3,100,000 divided by 30. 3,100,000 divided by 10 is 310,000. That divided by 3 would be 103,333.33.

I think. I don't have a calculator

Wow that's a lot of money. How much *in scientific notation* do you think it would cost to buy all the SB ad air time?

how many commercials are played during the superbowl???

lets say... 4 commercials per break, 5 breaks per quarter, plus halftime which is like 15 commercials???

35ish???

35*3.1mill

about 104million i would think...

so what is that, 1.04*10^8????

well... math isn't tough if you pay attention...


you told me how much it cost per 30 seconds... you just divide that by 30 to get it per 1 second.


then you wanted to find the total... first you need to know how many commercials are played during a super bowl, then multiply that by the 30 second price thing you gave.


its really simple math though.

I am SO confused right now...

EDIT: And I'm not talking about the math...
