C sounds wrong. D having 4 days of float feels off to me.

Ranee 1 month ago

I lean towards B. A and C seem more connected.

Nettie 2 months ago

I feel confused. Why would C have 6 days of float?

I think the answer is A. It makes sense with the float.

Leonida 2 months ago

I feel like A,C,E could be a trick option.

Donte 2 months ago

C has 2 days of float sounds right to me.

I agree with Alice. A,B,D,E makes sense for the critical path.

Lai 3 months ago

I feel like option B is misleading. A,C,E doesn't seem right.

But what about option A? It says C has 6 days of float.

Winfred 3 months ago

I think the critical path is A,B,D,E.

Venita 3 months ago

I thought float only applies to non-critical activities?

Definitely not B, that path doesn't make sense.

Wait, how does C have float if it's not on the critical path?

Luther 6 months ago

The critical path is A,B,D,E for sure.

Regenia 6 months ago

I feel like option A is the most likely correct answer since it mentions the critical path we identified in class, but I’m not completely confident about the float days.

Teddy 7 months ago

I vaguely recall that float is calculated based on the total duration, but I can't remember how to apply it to this specific question.

Natalie 7 months ago

I think the critical path is definitely A,B,D,E based on the dependencies we discussed, but I’m confused about the float calculations.

Pansy 7 months ago

I remember we practiced a similar question where we had to identify the critical path, but I’m not sure if it was the same activities.
