Larry is a hard-working college freshman. One Saturday, he decides to work nonstop until he has answered 200 practice problems f

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The marginal gain from Larry's second hour of work is 60 problems

The marginal gain from Larry's fourth hour of work is 20 problems

The best combination is 1 hour of working problems + 3 hours of reading

Explanation:

To get the marginal gain we subtract from the latest hour, in this case the second hour (140), the production from the previous hour (80). 140-80=60. It's always the same, the latest minus the previous one.

So let's do the same for the fourth hour:

Noon................200 problems

minus

11:00 AM..........180 problems

200-180= 20 problems

Now to know how many hours he should spend working on problems and reading, let's compare:

An hour of reading equals to 70 problems made; (because working on 70 problems raises a student’s exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour).

hours of working problems problems solved

0............................................................0

1.............................................................80

2............................................................140

3............................................................180

hours reading problems equivalent to hours read

4...............................................(4*70)=280

3...............................................(3*70)=210

2...............................................(2*70)=140

1................................................(1*70)=70

finally let's add up the two combinations (0 and 4, 1 and 3, 2 and 2, 3 and 1)

0 and 4_______________0+280= 280

1 and 3________________80+210=290

2 and 2_______________140+140=280

3 and 1________________180+70=250

And the best combination is 1 hour of working problems + 3 hours of reading=290
