If 9 students sharpen 18 pencils in 2 minutes, how many students will it take to sharpen 18 pencils in 1 minute?

A. 2
B. 9
C. 18
D. 36
I have done the math and gotten the answer 18, but the question seemed way too easy to answer. Now I feel like it was a trick question. Did I get the right answer?

Yeah the answer is 18 because you would need double the people for half the time.

It has to be 18 because that's the only answer that seems right.
I hope I helped at all.
