Number of teachers needed to Mark 500 exam papers in 30 hours =

Hence, marking rate of each teachers ;

500 / (30 * 10) = 500 / 300 = 1.667 papers per hour

If teachers mark at this rate, the number of teachers which will be required to mark 600 exam papers in 25 hours ;

Let number of teachers = t

(Rate * number of hours * number of teachers) = number of exam papers to be marked

(1.6667 * 25 * t) = 600

41.666665t = 600

t = 600 / 41.666665

t = 14.40000

Number of teachers needed = about 15 teachers
