A masonry crew's productivity is measured at 150 square feet per day per mason. If 2,400 square feet of brick veneer must be installed in 8 working days, how many masons are required?
Correct Answer
D) 2 masons
Required rate: 2,400 SF ÷ 8 days = 300 SF per day. Required masons: 300 SF per day ÷ 150 SF per mason per day = 2 masons.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Required rate: 2,400 SF ÷ 8 days = 300 SF per day. Required masons: 300 SF per day ÷ 150 SF per mason per day = 2 masons.
