Answer: Amount of money is shared by him and his friend is $17 and $21.25 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of hours he worked for = 2 hours

Number of hours his friend worked for = 2.5 hours

Ratio of amount of time of his to his friend is given by

[tex]2:2.5\\\\=20:25\\\\=4:5[/tex]

so, Amount of money shared by him is given by

[tex]\dfrac{4}{9}\times 38.25\\\\=4\times 4.25\\\\=\$17[/tex]

Amount of money shared by his friend is given by

[tex]\dfrac{5}{9}\times 38.25\\\\=5\times 4.25\\\\=\$21.25[/tex]

Hence, amount of money is shared by him and his friend is $17 and $21.25 respectively.
