#$5.40# per hour.

To find your answer, you need to find the unit rate, and to do that you just divide how much money she earned by how many hours she worked.

#$27# #÷# #5# #=# #$5.40#

To find Celine's pay per hour, divide her total earnings by the number of hours she babysat.

$27 ÷ 5 hours =$ 5.40 per hour
