I think the answer is C) 201 CY, because the total lifts per crane per day is 30.

You know, if I was the crane operator, I'd be more concerned about not knocking over the whole construction site with my mad skills. Just sayin'.

I just hope they don't trick us with that 1.75 CY or 1.34 CM thing. That's going to be the key to solving this problem, I bet.

Okay, let me think this through. 3 cranes, 30 lifts per day, 5 days... this is going to take some serious number-crunching!

Wait, are we supposed to use the cubic yard or cubic meter measurements? I'm so confused!
