To determine the equivalent rate in cents per minute, follow these steps:

1. **Start with the hourly rate:**
   $$
   \$12 \text{ per hour}
   $$

2. **Convert the hourly rate to a per-minute rate:**
   - There are 60 minutes in an hour.
   - Divide the hourly rate by 60 to find the rate per minute.
   $$
   \frac{\$12}{60 \text{ minutes}} = \$0.20 \text{ per minute}
   $$

3. **Convert dollars to cents:**
   $$
   \$0.20 = 20 \text{ cents}
   $$

So, the equivalent rate is **20 cents per minute**.
