This year, druehl, inc., will produce 57,600 hot water heaters at its plant in delaware, in order to meet expected global demand. to accomplish this, each laborer at the plant will work 160 hours per month. if the labor productivity at the plant is 0.15 hot water heaters per labor hour, how many laborers are employed at the plant?

200 laborers are employed at the plant.

First find out the number of hours each worker will have to work in a year:

= Number of hours per month x 12 months

= 160 * 12

= 1,920 hours

Find out the number of units each worker will produce in those hours:

= Annual number of hours x Units per hour

= 1,920 * 0.15

= 288 heaters

The number of laborers employed is:

= Yearly demand of heaters / Number of heaters produced per worker

= 57,600 / 288

= 200 laborers

The plant employs 200 laborers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Goal 57600 heaters per year

160 hr per 1 month

so 160(12)hr per 1 year

that is 1920 hr per 1 year

We also have that .15 heaters are produced every 1 hour

so multiply 1920 by .15 and you have your answer

160(12)(.15)=288 heaters are produced per one person per year

so we need to figure how many people we need by dividing year goal by what one person can do

57600/288=200 people needed
