Nora worked in her yard for 2 hours. She mowed for 45 minutes, raked for 33 minutes, and weeded the garden for the rest of the time. What percentage of noras time working in her yard was spent weeding the garden?

Step-by-step explanation:

Nora worked in her yard for 2 hours. She mowed for 45 minutes. We would convert the 45 minutes to hours.

60 minutes = 1 hour

45 minutes = 45/60 = 3/4 hours

She raked for 33 minutes. Converting 33 minutes to hours,

33 minutes = 33/60 = 11/20

She weeded the garden for the rest of the time.

Time spent on weeding the garden = total time spent in the garden - sum of the time spent on mowing and raking.

Time spent on weeding = 2 - (3/4+11/20) = 2 - 26/20

= 14/20 = 0.7 hours

The percentage of Nora's time working in her yard that was spent weeding the garden will become

0.7/2 * 100

= 35%
