Answer:

20 cents/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to convert both units

1 dollar is 100 cents

12 dollars * 100 cents/1 dollar = 1200 cents

1 hour  = 60 minutes

1 hours * 60 minutes / 1 hour = 60 minutes

12 dollars/ hour  = 1200 cents / 60 minutes

Simplify

20 cents/minute

Solving steps:

amount in cents/time in minutes = 1200/60 = 20 cents per minute
