A decision at the margin Crystal is a hard-working college senior. One Thursday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answe

red 100 practice problems for her math course. She starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of her progress throughout the day. She notices that as she gets tired, it takes her longer to solve each problem. Time Total Problems Answered 8:00 AM 0 9:00 AM 40 10:00 AM 70 11:00 AM 90 Noon 100 Use the table to answer the following questions. The marginal, or additional, gain from Crystal’s first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is problems. The marginal gain from Crystal’s third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is problems. Later, the teaching assistant in Crystal’s math course gives her some advice. “Based on past experience,” the teaching assistant says, “working on 35 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 her 4 hours of study time to get the best exam score possible, how many hours should she have spent working on problems, and how many should she have spent reading? 0 hours working on problems, 4 hours reading 1 hour working on problems, 3 hours reading 3 hours working on problems, 1 hour reading 4 hours working on problems, 0 hours reading

She should spend 1 hour working on problems , 3 hour reading , Option B is the right answer.

<h3>What is Margin gain ?</h3>

The gain of the desired effect with respect to the previous gain is called margin gain

The marginal gain from 8:00 am to 9:00 am is

(40-0) = 40 problems

The marginal gain from 9:00 am to 10:00 am is

= 70-40 = 30 problems

The marginal gain from 10:00 am to 11:00 am is

(90-70) = 20 problems

As if she does more than one hour of problem solving her productivity decreases to 30 which is less than 1 hour of reading textbook

Therefore she should not spend more than 1 hour on problem solving.

Therefore Option B is the right answer.

1 hour working on problems , 3 hour reading

I need the surface area of this shape EASY POINTS<br><br> Explain your answer
Alexus [3.1K]

Hi there! :)

So, to find the surface area, all you need to do is find the area of each surface on the shape.

Theres 5 different shapes in the model, so you're going to need to find the area of each one.

There is:

1. left side triangle

2.right side triangle

3.slanted rectangle

4.bottom rectangle

5. back rectangle

all the rectangles are simple, so let's start with them.

the dimensions of the slanted rectangle are 7m and 8m, so 8•7 is 56.

the dimensions of the bottom rectangle are 5m and 7m, so its 35.

the back rectangle has 5m and 7m so it is 35.

Halfway done!!

Now, onto the triangles. they're the same thing as the rectangles, but you half to 'cut it in half' or just divide by two. both of the triangles will be the same.

the triangles measurements are 5m and 8m, so 5•8 is 40, 40÷2 is 20. both of the triangles being 20, now all we have to do is add it up.

20+20+35+35+56=166

and that's about it!

I hope this helps, sorry it took so long to answer, but I hope you have a good day!
