The basic formula is

Amount Released = Rate of Release * Time

So if A is the amount released, r is the rate, and t is the time, then . We know that and . So plug this into the equation to get and solve for 't' to get

So it will take 10,000 seconds (about 2 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds) for 1,000,000 balloons to be released at a rate of 100 balloons a second.
