Question

As of 2016, Nevada has a current minimum wage of $8.25 an hour ($/hr). If someone was really picky about how much they owed, how much money would they make each second on the job with minimum wage? ( I need this answered by tomorrow )

Answer 1

Answer 2

Once again, you'd need to know that there are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour :)

I'd say converting the minimum wage into cents rather than dollars would make this problem a lot easier. $8.25 = 825 ¢.

So if this person is earning 825 ¢ in an hour, we should divide 825 by 60 to find out how much they're making in a minute:

825 ÷ 60 = 13.75 ¢

Now, we just need to divide by 60 again to work out how much that is in seconds:

13.75 ÷ 60 = 0.229 ¢

So to answer your question, this person would make 0.229 ¢ a second (¢/s) on the job with minimum wage. Converting this value to dollars wouldn't be viable (as it'd just be $0.00, so it's best to leave the answer in cents!)
