Answer:

1.5 cars

Explanation:

Three employees can produce a total of:

= 4 × 3

= 12 cars in an hour.

Five employees can produce a total of:

= 3 × 5

= 15 cars in an hour

So, the increase in total product of labor as I increase the labor from 3 to 5 employees:

= Total product when 5 employees are hired - Total products when 3 employees are hired

= 15 - 12

= 3 cars.

So, the marginal product of moving from 3 to 5 workers:

= 3 ÷ 2

= 1.5 cars
