Responses

the production of 20 toy cars in four hours
the production of 20 toy cars in four hours

the production of five toy cars in 2.5 labor hours
the production of five toy cars in 2.5 labor hours

the production of ten toy cars in ten labor hours
the production of ten toy cars in ten labor hours

the production of five toy cars in two hours
the production of five toy cars in two hours

Answer 1

To determine the greatest labor productivity, we can calculate the number of toy cars produced per labor hour for each option.

1. Production of 20 toy cars in four hours: $$\text{Labor productivity}=\frac{20\text{ cars}}{4\text{ hours}}=5\text{ cars per hour}$$

2. Production of five toy cars in 2.5 labor hours: $$\text{Labor productivity}=\frac{5\text{ cars}}{2.5\text{ hours}}=2\text{ cars per hour}$$

3. Production of ten toy cars in ten labor hours: $$\text{Labor productivity}=\frac{10\text{ cars}}{10\text{ hours}}=1\text{ car per hour}$$

4. Production of five toy cars in two hours: $$\text{Labor productivity}=\frac{5\text{ cars}}{2\text{ hours}}=2.5\text{ cars per hour}$$

Now comparing the labor productivity:

• First option: 5 cars per hour
• Second option: 2 cars per hour
• Third option: 1 car per hour
• Fourth option: 2.5 cars per hour

Thus, the option that represents the greatest labor productivity is the production of 20 toy cars in four hours (5 cars per hour).
