If 5 workers, working 8 hours a day for 12 days, produce 2400 units, then how many units will 10 workers, working 8 hours a day for 12 days, produce, assuming the productivity of each worker remains constant?
4800 units
The hours per day and the number of days are identical in both cases, so output is directly proportional to the number of workers.
Per-worker output over 12 days at 8 hours per day: \(\dfrac{2400}{5} = 480\) units.
With 10 workers under the same conditions: \(10 \times 480 = 4800\) units.
Hence, the 10 workers will produce 4800 units.
