Question

$7.80/hour = ____ cents/minute?

Answer 1

To convert an hourly wage in dollars to cents per minute, follow these steps:

1. Convert the hourly rate in dollars to cents:
   \( 7.80 , \text{dollars} = 7.80 \times 100 , \text{cents} = 780 , \text{cents} \).

2. Determine the number of minutes in an hour:
   There are 60 minutes in an hour.

3. Now, divide the total cents by the number of minutes:
   \[ \frac{780 , \text{cents}}{60 , \text{minutes}} = 13 , \text{cents/minute}. \]

Thus, \( 7.80 , \text{dollars/hour} = 13 , \text{cents/minute} \).
