    Answer: 92

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's figure out how many shirts she folds per minute.

    She folded 20 shirts in 5 minutes.

    20/5 = 4

    She folds shirts at a rate of 4 per minute.

    7:15 - 7:38 is a 23 minute window. So, we take 23 (the time in minutes) and multiply it by 4 (the shirts folded per minute).

    23 * 4 = 92 shirts folded
