Afoundry produces circular utility access hatches (manhole covers). currently, 120 covers are produced in a 10-hour shift. if labor productivity can be increased by 20%, it would then be: 14.4 covers/hr. 24 covers/hr. 240 covers/hr. 1200 covers/hr. 10 covers/hr.

14.4 covers/hr.

Explanation:

First, we need to identify how much covers are produced in 1 hour, which will be total produced divided by the total time:

covers/hr = 120/10

covers/hr = 12

If the production will be increased by 20%, it means that new production will be the initial one plus 20% (0.20) of it:

12 + 0.20*12 =  14.4 covers/hr.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
