To find out how long it will take Hugo to make 9 keychains, we first need to determine his rate of making keychains.

Hugo made 6 keychains in 30 minutes. From this, we can calculate his rate:

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

This means Hugo makes 1 keychain in 5 minutes.

Now, to find out how long it takes him to make 9 keychains, we multiply the number of keychains by the time it takes to make one keychain:

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

Therefore, it will take Hugo **45 minutes** to make 9 keychains today.
