Answer:

12 dollars

Explanation:

Hello!
To solve this question, we understand that:
- the rate at which he earns money is 4 dollars an hour.

-if we find how many hours elapsed between 1:45pm-4:45pm, it is three hours which means he has worked for three hours
(4:45pm-1:45pm=3:00 hours)

Knowing this equation, we must figure out how much he earns during this time frame, 3 hours.

Since we know that the rate is 4 dollars an hour and he has worked 3 hours, let's multiply 4 times 3 (or add 4 three times 4+4+4) to get 12 dollars he has worked during this time.
