Answer:

8 maths tests

Explanation:

Given data

We are told that in 1/4 hour that is 0.25hour (15 mins) She grades 1 math test

our aim is to find how many maths test she grade in 3 hours (120min)

Hence

in 15 mins she does 1 grading

in 120 mins she does x

cross multiply

15x= 120

divide both sides by 15

x= 120/15

x= 8 maths test

Hence in 2 hours, she can grade 8 maths tests
