To find the average number of toys assembled per hour per person, we first need to determine the total number of work hours contributed by all five people over the course of the week. Each person works 8 hours a day for 5 days, which results in:

Total hours worked by one person in a week = 8 hours/day × 5 days = 40 hours.

Since there are five people, the total hours worked by all five in a week is:

Total hours worked by five people = 5 people × 40 hours/person = 200 hours.

Next, we know that these five people assembled 400 toys during that time. To find the average number of toys assembled per hour for the entire team, we divide the total number of toys by the total hours worked:

Average toys per hour for the team = Total toys / Total hours = 400 toys / 200 hours = 2 toys per hour.

Now, to find the average number of toys assembled per hour per person, we divide the average for the team by the number of people:

Average toys per hour per person = Average toys per hour for the team / 5 people = 2 toys per hour / 5 people = 10 toys per hour per person
