Answer 1

Answer:

Number of barbers= 12 barbers

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A barbershop produces 192 haircuts a day. Each barber in the shop works 8 hours per day and produces the same number of haircuts per hour. The shop’s productivity is 2 haircuts per hour of labor.

First, we need to calculate the total number of haircuts per barber:

Number of haircuts= 2*8= 16

Now, we can determine the number of employees:

Number of barbers= 192/16= 12 barbers
