A father tells his young son, “I will pay you $6.00 per hour for the 6 seconds you took to wash your hands before dinner.” So how much does the boy earn for these 6 seconds of effort?

If you can figure it out, please explain how you got your answer. I'm trying to see if the way I went about it was right.

i thought about it the mathematic way. I said that he gets $6 per hour, which is 60 minutes. one minute is 60 seconds, so 60 minutes is 3600 seconds. The boy only washed for 6 seconds out of the 3600, so then I did 6 divided by 3600 and got 0.166666667. Therefore the boy got about $0.16 for washings his hands.
Did I do that right?
