12) For his classes, Professor Wright gives three types of quizzes, objective, recall, and recall-plus.
To keep his students on their toes, he has decided to give at least 20 quizzes next quarter.
The three types, objective, recall, and recall-plus quizzes, require the students to spend, respectively, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and
60 minutes for preparation, and Professor Wright would like them to spend at least 12 hours(720 minutes) preparing for these
quizzes above and beyond the normal study time.
An average score on an objective quiz is 5, on a recall type 6, and on a recall-plus 7, and Dr. Wright would like the students to
score at least 130 points on all quizzes.
It takes the professor one minute to grade an objective quiz, 2 minutes to grade a recall type quiz, and 3 minutes to grade a recall-
plus quiz.
How many of each type should he give in order to minimize his grading time?
