Brad Pitt earns $1,000 every 4 minutes and 48 seconds. he is in a new film and today's taping runs for 3 hours and 40 minutes.
------
4 min and 48 seconds = 4*60+48 = 288 seconds
-----
3hrs and 40 min = 3*3600+40*60 = 13200 seconds
----
# of thousands Brad "earns" = 13200/288 = 45.833
Pay = $45,833
