Answer 1

It is very important to consider units:

   (number of movies) =  (number of movies per month) * (number of months)

        ** This is because months cancel out.

 

   (number of movies) =  (number of movies per month) * (number of months)

             (n movie)      =           (2 movies/month)          *   (m months)

 

   n = 2m
