Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The average product is the total product divided by the number of workers. To find when the average product is 8, calculate the total product for each number of workers and divide by the number of workers. For 6 workers, the total product is 48 (5+7+8+10+11+7), and the average product is 48/6 = 8.
