Question: A residential framing crew is scheduled to complete the floor system for a 150 m² bungalow in 3 days with 4 carpenters. If the next project is a 200 m² bungalow and the client wants it done in 3 days, approximately how many carpenters would be needed, assuming similar efficiency?
Answer options:
- 4 carpenters
- 5 carpenters ✅ 6 carpenters
- 7 carpenters
Correct answer: 6 carpenters
Explanation: For the first bungalow, the work rate is 150 m² / (3 days * 4 carpenters) = 12.5 m² per carpenter-day. For the second bungalow, to complete 200 m² in 3 days, the total carpenter-days required is 200 m² / 12.5 m² per carpenter-day = 16 carpenter-days. Divided by 3 days, this requires approximately 16 / 3 = 5.33 carpenters, so 6 carpenters would be needed.
