Question
Each employee must meet with the company’s manager to discuss the annual raise. The meetings are held between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and last one hour. Mark the correct badge for each employee, sorting the employees in the order they must meet with the company’s manager, from 1 (first) to 6 (last).
*Meeting could take a bit longer than expected. Therefore, if a meeting should end at a specific hour, you should consider these delays and schedule it for an earlier hour. For example, if a meeting should end by 4 PM, it should be scheduled for 2 to 3 at the latest.
*Note: In the interactive format of the test you will have to drag and drop the badges to the correct place.
