Answer: 19

Explanation:

75 papers need to be marked

He grades 7 papers per hour

To find out how many paper he graded in 8 hours:

7 x 8

(7 is the number of papers graded in an hour)

(8 is the number of hours)

7 x 8 = 56

(56 is the number of papers he graded in 8 hours)

Now, there was a total of 75.

To find the remaining number of test sheets:

75 - 56

(75 is the total number of papers)

(56 is the number of papers graded)

75 - 56 = 19

Therefore, there are 19 papers remaining to grade.
