First, we need to find Hugo's rate of making keychains. He made 6 keychains in 30 minutes. To find the rate (keychains per minute), we divide the number of keychains by the time in minutes:

\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{6 \text{ keychains}}{30 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{1 \text{ keychain}}{5 \text{ minutes}}
\]

This means Hugo makes 1 keychain every 5 minutes. Now, to find out how long it will take him to make 9 keychains, we can multiply the time it takes to make 1 keychain by 9:

\[
\text{Time to make 9 keychains} = 9 \text{ keychains} \times 5 \text{ minutes/keychain} = 45 \text{ minutes}
\]

Therefore, if Hugo works at the same rate today, it will take him **45 minutes** to make 9 keychains.
