Use the table to answer the following questions.
The marginal, or additional, gain from Manuel's first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is
problems.
The marginal gain from Manuel's third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is
problems.
Later, the teaching assistant in Manuel's physics course gives him some advice. "Based on past experience," the teaching assistant says, "working on
25 problems raises a student's exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour." For simplicity, assume students always
cover the same number of pages during each hour they spend reading.
Given this information, in order to use his 4 hours of study time to get the best exam score possible, how many hours should he have spent working
on problems, and how many should he have spent reading?
O 1 hour working on problems, 3 hours reading
O 2 hours working on problems, 2 hours reading
O 3 hours working on problems, 1 hour reading
O 4 hours working on problems, 0 hours reading
