Question

The manager of a crew that installs carpeting has tracked the crew's output over the past several weeks, obtaining these figures.
Week Crew Size Yards Installed
1 4 96
2 3 72
3 4 92
4 2 50
5 3 69
6 2 52
What is the week with the highest labor productivity?

Answer 1

Answer: Week 6

Explanation:

Labor productivity = Yards installed/ Crew size

Week 1 = 96/4 = 24

Week 2 = 72/3 = 24

Week 3 = 92/4 = 23

Week 4 = 50/2 = 25

Week 5 = 69/3 = 23

Week 6 = 52/2 = 26

Week 6 is highest with 26 yards per crew.
