Her monthly paycheck was 120 dollars, because thats how much she earned that month. If she saved 48 dollars, then the percentage of the paycheck she saved is the percent of 120 that is 48 dollars, or 48/120. Simplifying, we have 2/5, (because you can divide both the top and the bottom by 24), and 2/5 is equal to 40%
Use rates, so 8 garden hoses over 18 hours then find the how many hours one garden house can fill up by doing this = 18/8 you divide the 8 for both sides which is about 2.25/1 so then you times 9 which is about 20/9 hoses your answer is 20
