Question

Your dad tells you that he will pay you $6.00 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

Earning per hour:
1 hour = 6$

Earning in seconds:
1 X 60 X 60 seconds = 6$
3600 seconds = 6$
1 second = 6 / 3600 $
1 second = 0.001667 $

Earning for one hand wash
1 X 6 seconds = 0.00167$ X 6
6 seconds = 0.01$

One cent for each hand wash.
