Mature student here, not done any maths since school, currently doing a report for my degree and im struggling with some basic maths, im trying to break down a total figure for labour but it doesn't look right.
Quote amount of £150500, split 60:40, Labour:Materials, i get the labour to £90300.00.
So, total cost of labour, broken into a ratio 10:5, (crafts persons:general operatives) gives costs of £60200.00 and £30100.00 respectively.
When you divide the above figures by the hourly rates paid (£19.98 & £15.16) you get 3013 total hours for crafts ops and 1922 total hours for gen ops, which doesn't fit the 10:5 ratio?
Or should it? Or is my maths wildly inaccurate? Good job im doing building surveying and not QS.
Wont see my lecturer for a few days, thought this might catch the eye of someone competent!
