a school teacher can grade 3 tests in 18 minutes. If class starts in 3 hours and there are 27 tests to grade, will they be done in time?

Answer:

yes.

honestly, I didn't really do all the math.

3 in 18 minutes, a little better than 3 in 20 minutes. that translates to 9 in an hour, with 6 minutes left over.

3 hours of that (3×9) is the 27. with 6 minutes per hour left over, for a total of 18 minutes.

the teacher has time to grade the tests, get a cup of coffee, and take a few minutes to wonder why she didn't go into an easier line if work.
