A backsplash has 36 device boxes, and each extension takes 6 minutes. How many labor hours are needed?
Correct Answer
B) 3.6 hours.
The work time is 36 x 6 = 216 minutes. Since 60 minutes equal 1 hour, 216 / 60 = 3.6 hours.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The work time is 36 x 6 = 216 minutes. Since 60 minutes equal 1 hour, 216 / 60 = 3.6 hours.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 3.0 hours total.
3.0 hours total. is below the supported result for electrical finish labor calculation; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.
Option C: 4.2 hours total.
4.2 hours total. is above the supported result for electrical finish labor calculation; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.
Option D: 4.8 hours total.
4.8 hours total. is above the supported result for electrical finish labor calculation; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.
