In December, General Motors produced 7,500 customized vans at its plant in Detroit. The labor productivity at this plant is known to have been 0.14 vans per labor hour during that month. 340 laborers were employed at the plant that month.
a) In the month of December the average number of hours worked per laborer =hours/laborer (round your response to one decimal place).
In recent years more people have been working past the age of 65. In 2005, 27% of people aged 65-69 worked. A recent report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development

finding that 180 of them were working.
