In earthwork calculations, how many lifts are to be paid to the contractor when the earth is to be lifted for 4.5 metres? Correct Answer Four

In earthwork calculations, the unit of lift is 2 metres for the first lift and one extra lift for every 1 metre. Therefore, when the earth is to be lifted for 4.5 metres, four lifts are to be paid to the contractor. For the first 2 metres, one lift is needed and for the rest 2.5 metres, three more lifts are required which sums up to a total four lifts.
