It takes an electrician 45 minutes to wire an office in a new office building that is being built. The electrician signed a contract to wire all offices on 6 floors of the new building. There are 50 offices on each floor. How many weeks should the electrician allow for this job if he works a standard work week (8 hours per day for 5 days a week)? Express the answer in decimal form rounded to the tenth place.

45/60*6*50=x hours

x/8=y days
y/5=z weeks the electrician should allow 5.625 weeks for this job.
