    The most important part of the problem lies in the fact that the hours have to be converted to minutes before starting to solve the problem.

    1 hour = 60 minutes

    6 and half hours = (6 * 60) + 30 minutes

    = 360 + 30

    = 390 minutes

    So the payment for 390 minutes is = 78 dollars

    Then

    The payment for 60 minutes = (78/390) * 60

    = 2 * 6 dollars

    = 12 dollars

    So the rate of pay given is $12 per hour. I hope the procedure is easy enough for you to understand. You can always use this method for solving similar type of problems.
