We have:
9 dollars per hour.
We want:
Cents Per Minute.
900 x
------- = ---------
60 min 1 min
60x = 900
x = 900/60
x = 15 cents per min.

So, it depends. Imma give you two answers, all of which are the same at the end. They just have different ways to do it.

1. So, it's $9 per hour, or $9 per 60 min
You can write a ratio: 9/60 = n/1
In this case you have to divide 9 by 60 cause
60/60 = 1

And n=0.15
Answer: you earn 15 cents per min.

2.
$9 = 900 cents
900 cents divided by 60 minutes = 15 cents in a minute.

Hope this helps love!! :)
