Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the average productivity of labor, we need to divide the total number of papers graded (which is 154 according to the table) by the total number of hours worked (which is 7).

Average productivity of labor = Total papers graded / Total hours worked

= 154 / 7

= 22 papers/hour

Therefore, the answer is C. The average productivity of labor over the full 7 hours of labor is 22 papers/hour.
