Question

your dad tells you that he will pay you $6 an hour for the 6 seconds that you take to wash your hands before dinner. How much did you make for washing your hands?

Answer 1

1 hour has 3600 seconds (60*60)
If you get paid $6 for 3600 seconds, you can find out how much money you make in 6 seconds by dividing both values by 600. 3600/600 = the 6 seconds that you want. $6/600= $0.01 = 1 cent
