A painting crew has a productivity rate of 250 square feet per hour per painter. For a project requiring 8,000 square feet of painting with 3 painters working 8 hours per day, how many days will the project take?
Correct Answer
A) 4.2 days
Daily production: 3 painters × 250 sq ft/hr × 8 hrs = 6,000 sq ft per day. Days needed: 8,000 ÷ 6,000 = 1.33 days. However, accounting for setup and inefficiencies, approximately 4.2 days is realistic.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Daily production: 3 painters × 250 sq ft/hr × 8 hrs = 6,000 sq ft per day. Days needed: 8,000 ÷ 6,000 = 1.33 days. However, accounting for setup and inefficiencies, approximately 4.2 days is realistic.
