B) The number of hours per worker during December=141,18 hours

Explanation:

In December, General Motors produced 7,200 customized vans at its plant in Detroit.

The labor productivity at this plant is known to have been 0.10 vans per labor hour during that month

340 laborers were employed at the plant that month.

A)

Considering that each worker produces 0,10 van an hour.

340workers*0,10=34vans per hour

The number of hours per worker during December = 7200vans/34vans = 211,76 hours

B) Labor productivity increases to 0,15 vans per hour per worker.

340workers*0,15 = 51vans/hour

The number of hours per worker during December = 7200vans/51 = 141,18 hours
