Answer 2

Dear PsyDAG,

Thanks for your help, I suppose the answer to be 17.2 FETs?

Answer 3

You might want to round it to the nearest person. It rounds to 17, but if you want <i>all</I> the records to be covered, you might round it up to 18. This would give the FTEs a little slack.

Answer 4

that rounding wasn't correct.
