Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The normal time for an element is calculated by multiplying the observed time by the rating factor. Without the specific observed time for Element 2 provided in the question, we can't calculate the exact normal time. However, given the options and the rating factor of 1.15, the correct answer is chosen based on the assumption that the observed time, when multiplied by 1.15, would result in one of the provided options. Since the specific calculation cannot be made without the observed time, this response is based on the understanding of how to calculate normal time (observed time * rating factor) and the need for specific data to perform the calculation.
