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, $7.80,\text{dollars/hour}=13,\text{cents/minute}$.
