what fractions of her earnings did she spend/
what fraction did they have left?
the amount she spent is how many times as much as the amount she saved?
fraction of amount she spent: 8/12= 2/3
fraction of amount left: 4/12= 1/3
Also, she spent 2 times the amount she had left.

To find the fraction of Rena's earnings that she spent, we need to divide the amount she spent by her total earnings. In this case, Rena earned $12 and spent $8.
Fraction spent = Amount spent / Total earnings
Fraction spent = $8 / $12
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which in this case is 4.
Fraction spent = $8 / $12 = $2 / $3
Therefore, Rena spent 2/3 of her earnings.
To find the fraction of her earnings that she has left, we need to subtract the amount she spent from her total earnings and then divide it by her total earnings.
Fraction left = (Total earnings - Amount spent) / Total earnings
Fraction left = ($12 - $8) / $12
Fraction left = $4 / $12
Again, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD of 4.
Fraction left = $4 / $12 = $1 / $3
Therefore, Rena has 1/3 of her earnings left.
Lastly, to determine the amount Rena saved, we can subtract the amount she spent from her total earnings.
Amount saved = Total earnings - Amount spent
Amount saved = $12 - $8
Amount saved = $4
So, Rena saved $4.
To answer the last question, we can compare the amount Rena spent with the amount she saved.
Amount spent = $8
Amount saved = $4
To find how many times as much Rena spent compared to what she saved, we can divide the amount spent by the amount saved.
Times spent = Amount spent / Amount saved
Times spent = $8 / $4
Times spent = 2
Therefore, Rena spent 2 times as much as she saved.
