Answer to Problem 4E

A, B, C, F, G, H and, I songs should he select from the list t to record the maximum time on the CD without going over.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The capacity of holding the songs 35 minutes and the numbers of songs are 8 and each having different length of timing.

We need to select several songs, that sum is nearest or equal to the 35 min.

Calculation:

The sum of minutes $=\left(A+B+C+F+G+H+I\right)=\left(5+9+4+4+7+4\right)=38$

The sum of seconds $=\left(A+B+C+G+H+I+\right)=\left(4+10+12+30+21+33\right)=1.50$

Therefore, the total timing = $34\text{ min }50\sec$
