Question
Lucy is a teacher and takes home 83 papers to grade over the weekend. She can grade at a rate of 6 papers per hour. How many papers would Lucy have remaining to grade after working for 9 hours?
Solution
First, we need to determine how many papers Lucy can grade in 9 hours. We know she can grade 6 papers per hour, so we multiply 9 (hours) by 6 (papers per hour) to get 54 papers.
Next, we subtract the number of papers she has graded from the total number of papers she had to grade. She started with 83 papers and has graded 54, so we subtract 54 from 83 to get 29.
Therefore, Lucy would have 29 papers remaining to grade after working for 9 hours.
