Answer:15 nickels per minute (I believe)

Explanation:

First, we want to know how much she got paid in total dollar amount, we'll break it up into nickels later. We know Jackie was paid $45 per hour, but we want to figure out how much per minute she makes. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so divide 45 by 60 ( 45/60 in a calculator).

The answer for 45/60 would then be 0.75. This means Jackie gets paid 75 cents a minute. Since a nickel is worth 5 cents, we just need to divide 75 by 5. Then, we get 15.

Now we know Jackie gets paid 15 nickels per minute. I assume this would be put in aspect ratio form by saying "Jackie gets paid 15 nickels per every one minute of work." but that may depend on how your teacher wants you to word your answer. I hope this helps :)
