Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution: compute the number of days required.
Total effort = 1500 person-hours.
Daily team capacity = team size × hours per person per day = 5 × 8 = 40 person-hours/day.
Days required = Total effort ÷ Daily team capacity = 1500 ÷ 40 = 37.5 days.
Interpretation: 37.5 days means 37 full working days plus a half day. If whole days are required, round up to 38 days.
Therefore, the correct answer is 37.5 days.
