It looks like this problem is trying to give you extra information. It does not matter how many tests he had at the start, so I crossed that out.

All we need to know is that the teacher had half a dozen tests left to grade. If a dozen is 12, find half of that.

Answer 2

Hello Sheesh,

Mr. Bloop has 6 math tests remaining to grade, since 6 is 1/2 of a dozen (12).

And since Mr. Bloop started out with 52 math tests to grade, that means he graded a total of 46 math tests on Saturday.
