Answer:

a. 31 packages per hour

b. 30 packages per hour

Explanation:

If we consider 5 working days in the week and 8 hours a day in the first week

a. The total hours working in a week = 40

Productivity = 1250/40

Productivity = 31 packages per hour

b. During the second week the hours worked per day = 10

Productivity = 1500/50

Productivity = 30 packages per hour
