Question

Endeavor will schedule pairings to have a minimum of __ hours rest (excluding night time operations).

a) 6 hours
b) 8 hours
c) 10 hours
d) 12 hours

Answer 1

The subject of this question is Mathematics and it involves scheduling pairings to have a minimum rest time. The options provided are either more than, at most, at least, or less than seven hours of rest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Mathematics as it involves the scheduling of pairings to ensure a minimum rest time.

To determine the minimum rest time, we need to first determine the duration the pairings are on.

The given hint suggests that treating it as if it is only on for 12 hours would yield an equivalent answer, or operating at half-power for 24 hours. Based on this, we can conclude that option a) 6 hours is more than seven hours, option b) 8 hours is at most seven hours, option c) 10 hours is at least seven hours, and option d) 12 hours is less than seven hours.
