Hey!

She can grade 1/3 of a stack in 1/8 hours. Divide the total amount of stacks by how much she can do.


2 / (1)/(3) = (2)/(1) * (3)/(1) = 6

Now multiply that by how long it takes her.


(1)/(8) * 6 = (6)/(8) \rightarrow (3)/(4)

That means it takes her
(3)/(4) of an hour to grade 2 stacks.

Good luck and hope this helps! :)
