If a road project requires 18,000 LCY to be moved and the operator can move 250 LCY per hour, how many days will it take if he works 8 hours a day?

To determine how many days it will take to move 18,000 loose cubic yards (LCY) with an operator who can move 250 LCY per hour while working 8 hours each day, we first need to calculate the total amount of material the operator can move in one day.

The operator moves 250 LCY per hour, and working 8 hours in a day allows them to move:

250 LCY/hour * 8 hours/day = 2,000 LCY/day.

Next, we need to find out how many total days it will take to move the entire 18,000 LCY. We can do this by dividing the total amount to be moved by the daily capacity:

18,000 LCY ÷ 2,000 LCY/day = 9 days.

This means it will take the operator 9 days to complete the project if they maintain their working hours and efficiency. Hence, the correct answer reflects the total duration required for the project given the specific constraints outlined in the question.
