Let us calculate the teacher's initial speed. It can be calculated as thus:
She does 5 papers in 30 minutes. Thus means her speed is 6 minutes per paper (Because minutes per paper).
Now, if the teacher has to complete the remaining 30 papers in the remaining 150 minutes (2 hours 30 minutes=120+30=150 minutes), she will have to go through one paper in minutes. Thus, her speed now will have to be 5 minutes per paper.
Now, we know that 1.2 times 5=6. Therefore, it will not be wrong to say that '' she has to be 1.2 times faster instead of 20% faster" because both mean the same.
