I did a task, and my hourly rate is $£25$ , I spent a total of $36$ minutes on it, how can I work out the total amount of time spent on the task?
My attempt:
I can do this for simple sums such as $30$ mins $= 25/2 = £12.5\implies 25$ mins $= 25/4 = £6.25$ but finding it hard for numbers such as $36$ mins.
Thank you
If you work $1$ hour $= 60$ minutes and get total $25$ pounds it means you will get $\frac{25}{60}$ pounds per minute. So if you work $36$ minutes you will earn:
$$\frac{25}{60} \cdot 36 = 15 \text{ pounds}$$
