Solution

Solution:

To calculate how many days it will take to complete the project, we can use the following steps:

Step 1: Calculate the total number of hours the team can work per day:

• There are 5 people on the team.
• Each person works 8 hours a day.

  
So, the total number of hours worked per day by the team is:

\(5 \text{ people} \times 8 \text{ hours per day} = 40 \text{ person-hours per day}.\)

Step 2: Calculate the number of days required:

• The total effort is 1500 person-hours.

  
To find the number of days required, divide the total effort by the number of person-hours worked per day:

\(\frac{1500 \text{ person-hours}}{40 \text{ person-hours per day}} = 37.5 \text{ days}.\)

Answer: The project will take 37.5 days to complete.

So, the correct answer is: 2) 37.5.
