He is paid $5.15 per hour.

First we find total number of hours he worked.

So, we will add all the value

\(\text{Total hours}=8+4\dfrac{1}{2}+3\dfrac{3}{4}+7\dfrac{1}{2}+4\dfrac{3}{4}\)

First we change mixed fraction to fraction

\(\text{Total hours}=8+\dfrac{9}{2}+\dfrac{15}{4}+\dfrac{15}{2}+\dfrac{19}{4}\)

\(\text{Total hours}=28.5\text{ hours}\)

Fred worked total 28.5 hours. He is paid $5.15 per hour.

Total earn = Total number of hours x Rate per hour
