At the stormwater-lift-station yard, during the look-ahead planning meeting, a roofing crew must complete 13800 SF of membrane tear-off area. If planned production is 3420 SF per day, how many whole work days should be scheduled?

Correct Answer

A) 5 work days

Crew days equal quantity divided by daily production, rounded up to whole days.

Answer Options
A
5 work days
B
3 work days
C
4 work days
D
7 work days

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Crew days equal quantity divided by daily production, rounded up to whole days.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B: 3 work days

3 work days is below the supported result for membrane tear-off area productivity; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option C: 4 work days

4 work days is below the supported result for membrane tear-off area productivity; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option D: 7 work days

7 work days is above the supported result for membrane tear-off area productivity; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Memory Technique

Measure to crew, adjust for divided, then let Superintendent Schedules set the finish line.
