The proportion of paper to minutes is 5 papers every 15 minutes:
[tex]\frac{5\text{papers}}{15\text{minutes}}[/tex]To find the number of papers Scott will grade in 130 minutes, we need to multiply that number by the proportion:
[tex]130minutes\times\frac{5\text{papers}}{15\text{minutes}}[/tex]We solve the operations:
[tex]\frac{130\times5}{15}=\frac{650}{15}=43.333[/tex]rounding the answer to the nearest tenth:
[tex]43.3[/tex]Answer: 43.3
