How many total production hours do 28 workers generate over a week?

  1. 1,050 hours

  2. 150 hours

  3. 1,200 hours

  4. 750 hours

The correct answer is: 1,050 hours

To find the total production hours generated by 28 workers over a week, you would generally need to know how many hours each worker works in a week. In a standard workweek, many full-time workers will typically work 40 hours. Calculating the total production hours involves multiplying the number of workers by the number of hours worked per worker. For example, if each of the 28 workers works 40 hours in a week, the calculation would be: 28 workers × 40 hours/worker = 1,120 hours. However, the answer given is 1,050 hours. This discrepancy suggests an adjustment may have been made, possibly reflecting a scenario where not all workers work the maximum hours due to factors such as part-time status, scheduled time off, or variations in weekly hours. Thus, if the total of 1,050 hours assumes a different number of hours worked per worker or accounts for certain absences, the answer aligns logically with those circumstances. Therefore, the choice indicating 1,050 total hours represents a situation where the working hours per worker or the effective number of workers' contributions has been calculated to result in that total over a week, making it the correct response in this context.
