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, "worki 25 problems raises a student's exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour." For simplicity, assume students alw. 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 w on problems, and how many should he have spent reading?
