While preparing the look-ahead planning meeting for the seafood-market cooler room, 146 sleeves are included in the firestopping sleeve work. At 1.3 labor hours per sleeve, how many labor hours are budgeted?

Correct Answer

C) 189.8 labor hours

Labor hours equal the number of units times the labor-hour factor per unit.

Answer Options
A
112.3 labor hours
B
248.2 labor hours
C
189.8 labor hours
D
161.3 labor hours

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Labor hours equal the number of units times the labor-hour factor per unit.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: 112.3 labor hours

112.3 labor hours is below the supported result for firestopping sleeve work; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.

Option B: 248.2 labor hours

248.2 labor hours is above the supported result for firestopping sleeve work; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.

Option D: 161.3 labor hours

161.3 labor hours is below the supported result for firestopping sleeve work; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.
