To calculate your boyfriend's hourly wage, you need to first figure out how many hours he works in a month. Since he works a 9 to 5 job, which usually means 8 hours a day, here's how to calculate it:

  1. Daily hours worked: 8 hours (from 9 AM to 5 PM)
  2. Weekly hours worked: 8 hours/day × 5 days/week = 40 hours/week
  3. Monthly hours worked: 40 hours/week × 4 weeks/month = 160 hours/month

Now, you can find the hourly wage by dividing his monthly pay by the number of hours he works in a month:

\[ \text{Hourly wage} = \frac{\text{Monthly pay}}{\text{Monthly hours worked}} = \frac{600}{160} = 3.75 \]

So, your boyfriend is making $3.75 per hour.
