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
