Answer provided by our tutors

the total time the electrician needs to wire 6 floors with 50 offices in each floor is:


45*6*50 = 13,500 min = 13,500/60 hr = 225 hr


he works a standard week of 8 hours per day and 5 days per week thus her works 8*5=40 hours per week


225/40 = 5.625 weeks


the electrician should allow 5.625 weeks for this job.
