Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We can calculate the productivity of each worker by dividing the units of output by the hours worked:
- Laurie: 7 units/hour
- Iris: 10 units/hour
Since Iris has the higher productivity, and she also worked fewer hours than Laurie, we can conclude that Iris's output is greater than Laurie's. Therefore, Iris's productivity and output are greater than Laurie's.
