Later, the teaching assistant in Yvette’s economics course gives her some advice. "Based on past experience," the teaching assistant says, "working on 30 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?

Answer:

Yvette

To get the best exam score possible, Yvette should spend 2 hours working on problems and 2 hours reading.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total study time = 4 hours

Number of problems solved = 30

Hours reading textbook = 1 hour

Score obtained from problem solving = 50%

Score obtained from reading textbook = 50%

Therefore, number of hours to spend working on problems = 2 (4 * 50%)

Number of hours to spend reading - 2 (4 * 50%)
