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%
