Based on the time spent per project and the number of projects, the average time spent per outsourced project is <u>271 hours. </u>
<h3>Time spent on all projects</h3>
The time spent on all the projects can be found by the formula:
<em>= ∑( Number of projects in continent x Average time per project) </em>
Solving gives:
= (13 x 278) + (6 x 382) + (4 x 279) + (7 x 148) + ( 3 x 298)
= 8,952 hours
<h3>Number of projects </h3>
<em>= ∑Projects per continent </em>
= 13 + 6 + 4 + 7 + 3
= 33 projects
<h3>Average Time Spent </h3>
This is then found as:
<em>= Time spent in total / Number of projects </em>
= 8,952 / 33
= 271 hours
In conclusion, 271 hours was spent on average.
