Productivity is measured by output per unit of input. In this case, the input is the number of workers and hours worked, and the output is the number of chairs produced. 
Productivity = Output/Input 
Input = 8 workers x 10 hours = 80 worker-hours 
Output = 160 chairs 
Productivity = 160 chairs / 80 worker-hours = 2 chairs per hour.
