The navy contract was for 2,300 devices and took 23 workers two weeks (40 hours per week) to complete. The army contract was for 6,300 devices that were produced by 38 workers in three weeks.

Explanation / Answer

Productivity = Output / Input

Navy contract = 2,300 / (23 x 2 x 40) = 1.25 device per labor hour.

Army contract = 6,300 / (38 x 3 x 40) = 1.38 device per labor hour.

Workers were more productive on army contract as they produced more units per hour.
