Question

A lawyer works for 6.5 hours and charges his client $1,560. What is his hourly rate?

Answer 1

Answer:

He does not charge by the hour.

And how would one express 6.5 hours in seconds?

Answer 2

Put all into min
6.5 hours is 390 min
So for 390 min he makes 1560
So divide
1560/390=4 he makes 4 dollars a minute
4 x 60 = 240
He makes $240 an hour
