In​ December, General Motors produced 7,500 customized vans at its plant in Detroit. The labor productivity at this plant is known to have been 0.10 vans per labor hour during that month. 300 laborers were employed at the plant that month.

1) Total hours= 7,500/0.1= 75,000 hours

Hours per worker= 75,000/300= 250 hours
