Answer:

T=180minutes or 3 Hours

Explanation:

Given the teacher was able to grade 3/4 of the class papers in 2hours and 15 minutes. Let there be x number of children in the class. Now convert the time into one unit ie, minutes .

1 hour=60 minutes

2 hours=120 minutes.

total time taken by the teacher to grade 3/4 of the class papers is=120+15=135minutes.

Now

3/4 of the class papers graded in 135 minutes.

let the time taken to grade all the papers is T; then


3/4x--->135


x--->T

On cross multiplication we get


135*x=T*(3x/4)


T=135*4/3


T=180 minutes.

Therefore the total time taken by the teacher to grade all the papers in the class is 180 minutes or 3 Hours.
