Productivity is defined as the amount of output produced by each unit of input. In this case, the input is the labor provided by the two workers over the course of their 8 hour shifts.

Total hours of labor = 2 workers x 8 hours/day = 16 hours/day

Output per day = 800 bowling balls

Productivity = Output / Input = Output / (2 workers x 8 hours/day) = 800 / 16 = 50 bowling balls per hour
