To calculate the select time we use the formula:
Select time = observed time / performance rating
For this task, the observed time is 24 seconds. If the worker is rated at 80%, then the performance rating is 0.8.

Select time = 24 seconds / 0.8 = 30 seconds

Therefore, the select time for this job element is 30 seconds. The best choice is (C).
