Answer:

The answer is 5$

Explanation:

If he earns 20 dollars in 1 hour, then in 1/4 of an hour he will earn:

Since 1 hour=60 minutes

He earns 20 dollars in 60 minutes

There for he will earn (20/60)=1/3 dollars in one minute

1/4 of an hour=(1/4)×60=15 minutes

To get the amount he earns in 1/4 of an hour or 15 minutes,

=(Number of minutes in 1/4 of an hour)×Amount he earns in 1 minute)=(15×1/3)=5 dollars
