Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since each milker produces the same number of gallons per hour, the total number of productive hours can be divided by the productivity rate to determine the number of milkers.

Total productive hours per day = 960 gallons / (12 gallons/hour) = 80 hours

Therefore, the dairy employs 80/8 = 10 milkers.
