Question

Ava is a teacher and takes home 46 papers to grade over the weekend. She can grade

at a rate of 8 papers per hour. How many papers would Ava have remaining to grade
after working for 5 hours?

Answer 1

6 papers

Since she can finish 8 papers in 1 hour, you can multiply 8 by five to see how many papers are to be completed in those 5 hours

8x5=40
46-40=6
Ava has to finish 6 more papers by the time she gets through 5 hours
