Five people, each working 8 hours a day can assemble 400 toys in a 5-day work week. What is the average number of toys assembled per hour per person?

To determine the average number of toys assembled per hour per person, we can first calculate the total number of hours worked by the group and then find the total production to derive the average.

Five people working 8 hours a day for 5 days means that the total number of hours worked can be calculated as follows:

Total hours = Number of people × Hours per day × Number of days

Total hours = 5 × 8 × 5 = 200 hours

During this time, the group assembles a total of 400 toys. To find out how many toys were assembled per hour in total, we can divide the total number of toys by the total number of hours worked:

Toys per hour = Total toys assembled / Total hours

Toys per hour = 400 toys / 200 hours = 2 toys per hour (for the group as a whole).

Now, since there are 5 people working, we need to find the average number of toys assembled per person per hour. To do this, we divide the total toys assembled per hour by the number of people:

Average toys per hour per person = Toys per hour / Number of people

Average toys per hour per person = 2 toys per hour / 5 =
