Question

A college student earns $12 per hour at a part-time job. Use two unit multipliers to convert this pay rate to cents per minute.

Answer 1

20 cents per minute

Explanation:

There are 60 minutes in an hour

there are 100 cents in a dollar, which means $12 would be 1200 cents

So the $12/hr represents 1200 cents/60 min,

To get a pay rate in cents per minute simplify the 1200/60 to

20 cents per minute.
