Question

Sophie is a teacher and takes home 86 papers to grade over the weekend. She can grade at a rate of 11 papers per hour. How many papers would Sophie have remaining to grade after working for 5 hours?

Answer 1

Since Sophie can grade 11 papers per hour

Since she worked for 5 hours, then

Multiply 11 by 5 to find the number of the graded papers

`11*5=55`

Since the total number of papers is 86, then to find the number of the remaining papers subtract 55 from 86

`86-55=31`

There were 31 paper Sophie has to grade after working 5 hours
