Answer: 0.3243, or 0.32 minutes per paper

Explanation:

Since the there are more papers than minutes, we know that this number will be a decimal.

You need to do 12/37 because there are 12 minutes of 37 papers. That means 12 divided by 37.

That would give you the total of 0.3243, or 0.32 if you are rounding.
