Jamal is creating toys to sell. He is averaging 8 toys every 5 days. If he continues at this rate, how many days will it take to fill an order of 75? Round to the nearest whole number of days. (1 point)
375 days
47 days
120 days
10 days
To find the number of days it will take to fill the order of 75 toys, we set up a proportion:
8 toys/5 days = 75 toys/x days
Cross multiplying, we get:
8x = 375
Dividing both sides by 8, we have:
x = 375/8
x ≈ 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take approximately 47 days to fill the order of 75 toys.
So the correct answer is option B: 47 days.
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
To find x, we can cross-multiply and solve for it:
8x = 75 * 5
8x = 375
Now, we can divide both sides by 8 to find the value of x:
x = 375 / 8
x ≈ 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take approximately 47 days to fill an order of 75 toys. Therefore, the answer is 47 days.
To find the number of days it will take for Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we can set up a proportion based on the rate at which he is creating toys:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
8 * x = 5 * 75
8x = 375
Dividing both sides by 8:
x = 375 / 8
x ≈ 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take approximately 47 days for Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys.
Therefore, the correct answer is 47 days.
