To accomplish​ this, each laborer at the plant will work 160160 hours per month. If the labor productivity at the plant is 0.250.25 hot water heaters per labor​ hour, how many laborers are employed at the​ plant

Answer 1

The number of laborers employed by the plant is 120 laborers

Step-by-step explanation:

According to given data Annual output = 57600 water heaters.

So the output per month = 57,600 / 12 months = 4,800 water heaters

Each labor works 160 hours per month

Suppose ,there are x number of laborers employed by the plant. So,x number of laborer will work 160x hours per month. So the labor input = 160x per month

Labor productivity = 0.25

Labor productivity = Output / Labor input

0.25 = 4800 / 160x

25/100 = 4800/160x

160x = (4800 X 100) / 25

160x = 19200

x = 19200/160

x = 120

Therefore, the number of laborers employed by the plant is 120 laborers
