Reasoning and answer: 4 hours and 30 minutes is the same as 4 * 60 + 30 = 270 minutes. At 90 minutes per movie, Grandpa could watch a total of 270 / 90 = 3 entire movies in 4 hours and 30 minutes. On Wednesday, he watched 2 * 3 = 6 movies. Thus, during these two days, he could have watched as many as 3 + 6 = 9 movies.
The answer: 9
