Answer:

The army contract

Explanation:

Productivity can be measured by output per hour. i.e.

dividing the total output by hours worked.

productivity = output/hours worked

The navy contract

output =4,300

the hours worked = 20 workers working for two weeks, each week has 40 hours

Each worker worked 40 x 2 hours = 80 hours

20 workers worked for

80 hrs x 20

= 1600 hours

Productivity = 4,300/1600

=2.6875

For the military contract

output = 8300

hours worked

=  25 workers in three weeks, each week 40 hours

each worker worked, 40 x 3 hours = 120 hours

Twenty-five workers:

=25 x  120 hours

= 3000 hours

Productivity = 8300/3000

=2.766

The productivity for the military contract (2.766) was higher than for the navy contrac t(2.6875).
