[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To calculate how much Patricia earns babysitting, we need to determine how many minutes are in 3 hours and 45 minutes.

There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so we multiply 3 hours by 60 minutes/hour:

3 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 180 minutes

Then we add the remaining 45 minutes:

180 minutes + 45 minutes = 225 minutes

Now we divide 225 minutes by 60 to convert it back to hours:

225 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 3.75 hours

So Patricia and her friend babysit for 3.75 hours.

Next, we need to calculate how much Patricia earns for 3.75 hours:

R45.50/hour * 3.75 hours = R170.63

Since Patricia offered to pay her friend half of her earnings, we need to divide R170.63 by 2:

R170.63 / 2 = R85.32

Therefore, Patricia would pay her friend R85.32 for the 3 hours and 45 minutes of babysitting.
