The navy contract was for 2,314 devices and took 23 workers two weeks (40 hours per week) to complete. The army contract was for 4,707 devices that were produced by 16 workers in three weeks. What's the productivity of the army contract for the input of labor hours

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.408 hour / device

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know The army contract was for 4,707 devices that were produced by 16 workers which means 1 worker can produce: [tex]\frac{4707}{16}[/tex] ≈294 devices in 3 weeks.

<=> 294 devices= 3*40 hours

<=> 294 devices = 120 hours

<=> 1 device = 120/294 = 20/49 ≈ 0.408 hour

So it takes 0.408 hour for a worker to finish producing 1 devicein the army contract
