The interior repaint worksheet shows a painter completes 36 doors at 22 minutes per door. How many labor hours are used?

Correct Answer

A) 13.2 hours.

The time is 36 x 22 = 792 minutes. Since 60 minutes equal 1 hour, 792 / 60 = 13.2 hours.

Answer Options
A
13.2 hours.
B
12.0 hours total.
C
13.8 hours total.
D
14.4 hours total.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The time is 36 x 22 = 792 minutes. Since 60 minutes equal 1 hour, 792 / 60 = 13.2 hours.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: 12.0 hours total.

12.0 hours total. is below the supported result for painting labor calculation; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.

Option C: 13.8 hours total.

13.8 hours total. is above the supported result for painting labor calculation; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.

Option D: 14.4 hours total.

14.4 hours total. is above the supported result for painting labor calculation; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.

Memory Technique

Who controlled time, who paid cslb, where is the Checking Production record?

Reference Hint

Study anchor (closed-book): memorize Painting labor calculation from CSLB B General Building Study Guide; California Building Code, Title. / CSLB B General Building Study Guide painting labor estimating; know the rule or calculation trigger without relying on exam-room lookup.
