In the movie Ocean's 11, Danny Ocean (played by George Clooney) and his crew steal $150 million. To find Danny's share, divide the total amount by the number of crew members, which is 11. This gives you a repeating decimal result of $13,636,363.64. If they had stolen $5 million instead, Danny's share would be $454,545.45, which is another repeating decimal. Reflecting on these numbers, consider if the results seem reasonable given they're based on such large sums. Discuss the patterns in the answers and how rounding affects the share.

Problem of the Day • In the clip, Ocean’s 11 stole $150 million. How could you find Danny Ocean’s (George Clooney) share of the money? • Does the answer you find look reasonable since we are talking about money? • If the team had stolen $5 million instead of $150 million, what would Ocean’s share be? • Does this answer look reasonable? • Why or why not? • What do you notice about the digits in the answer?
Ocean’s Eleven POD • When you divide the $150 million Ocean’s 11 stole from the casino by 11, you get 13636363.636363… • When you divide $5 million by 11, you get • 454545.454545… • The numbers we get are called repeating decimals • Why do you think we call them that? • If we rounded our repeating decimal off, how much money does Danny Ocean receive?
