To find the normal time for this job element, we need to divide the observed time by the performance rating. From the table, the observed time for assembling peanut valves is 1.5 minutes. If Keith is rated at 75%, then the normal time would be:
Normal time = Observed time / Performance rating
Normal time = 1.5 / 0.75
Normal time = 2 minutes
Therefore, the normal time for this job element is less than 2.6 minutes but greater than or equal to 2.2 minutes, which is option C.
