Man exposed to 1mSv/hr of xray radiation for 3 minutes. What is his dose?

Am I right in thinking the answer is 50µSv?

Assuming the dose is received linearly then yeah, 3/60th of the original amount.

So 1/20th of 1mSv, whatever that is.

3/60th of 1 = 0.05. Knocked the units to display micro.

1mSv/yr is the annual dose allowance to a member of the public so all good.
