Drilling Maths: Peck Travel, Retracts and Counted Cycle Time

Original quantitative topic practice in English. All 24 questions are included in a shuffled order. Each question supplies its own data and model assumptions; use only those assumptions. Choose one answer. Practice target: 20/24, not an official examination pass mark. Keep full intermediate precision. These exercises cover the calculation scope in the title; they do not constitute a full Red Seal examination, trade qualification, site design or operating specification.

A simplified paper drilling cycle has depth 42 mm and equal pecks of 6 mm. Depth is exactly divisible by peck. After each peck except the last, the tool retracts 4 mm and returns the same distance, both at rapid speed 600 mm/min. Cutting feed is 72 mm/min. There are 7 holes. Ignore initial approach, final retract and dwell; count only the movements specified. Calculate the intermediate rapid time per hole in minutes. Keep intermediate values unrounded; round the final answer to 4 decimal places if needed.
