1. How many paths are in the network, and what are they? There are four paths. See the details on the next page.

2. What is the critical path and its duration? Start, B, E, I, K, End and it will take 16 weeks.

3. What is the float on Activity F? Activity H? Because activity F is a dummy task there is no float. Activity H has float of 4 weeks.

4. What is the impact to the project if activity B takes three weeks longer than planned? It will delay the project by 3 weeks because B is on the critical path.

Do a forward and backward pass using the original estimates.
