Question

Morgan is a teacher and takes home 87 papers to grade over the weekend. She can

grade at a rate of 9 papers per hour. How many papers would Morgan have

remaining to grade after working for 7 hours?

Answer 1

Hello Anna,

First, you'd want to find out how many papers Morgan has graded after 7 hours: 9 per hour, so in 7 hours, it would be 7 * 9 = 63 papers

Morgan took 87 papers home to grade. After working for 7 hours, she graded 63 of them.

You can now figure out how many papers she has not yet graded yet by subtracting the two numbers in bold.
