How long will it take to earn one dollar at the rate of $10 per hour

6 minutes

If it takes 1 hour to earn $10, we convert that 1 hour to 60 minutes. Now we will divide 60 by 10, and that gives you 6. Therefore every 6 minutes you earn $1.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

6 minutes

Explanation:

Since it's you have 10 dollars in one hour, and you want to find 1/10th of the dollar value, you'd multiply 1/10th, or 0.1 by the time as well. I converted it into minutes because we're finding a smaller unit of time than 1 hour.

60 min x 1/10 (or 60 min/10)= 6 minutes

I hope this helped!
