    Using simple ratio and proportion, we can say that she can only contact at most 8 groups per month with 16 hr maximum for writing, that is 16 hrs/2hrs per group. The mixture for the 8 groups can get the highest amount within 12 hr follow-up time:

    labor union group x2 = 6hr = $400

    local church group x6=6hr = $600

    This would get her $1,000/month for calling 2 labor union group and 6 church group.
