If 9 students sharpen 18 pencils in 2 minutes, how many students will it take to sharpen 18 pencils in 1 minute? A. 2 B. 9 C. 18 D. 36 I have done the math and gotten the answer 18, but the question seemed way too easy to answer. Now I feel like it was a trick question. Did I get the right answer?

Formula used:
Work = Time × Men
Here, Time = 1 minute and Work = 18
Thus, 18 = 1 × Men (students)
Men = 18
So, it will take 18 students to sharpen 18 pencils in 1 minute.
