Question

question 9 of 10
the best example of efficiency is:

a. getting an a on a homework assignment that you spent three hours on the night before.

b. getting an a on a homework assignment that you spent one hour on the night before.

c. getting a b on a homework assignment that you spent two hours on the night before.

d. getting a c on a homework assignment that you spent 30 minutes on the night before, and also finishing two other assignments.

Explanation:

Efficiency involves achieving a goal (like good grades on homework) with minimal resources (time, in this case) or maximizing output (tasks completed, grades) with given resources. Option D not only gets a C on one assignment in 30 minutes but also finishes two other assignments, showing the best use of time (maximizing tasks done) compared to others that focus on one assignment's grade with more time (A: 3 hours for one A; B: 1 hour for one A; C: 2 hours for a B).

Answer:

D. getting a C on a homework assignment that you spent 30 minutes on the night before, and also finishing two other assignments.
