To find out how many days it will take for Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we can use a proportion:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
Cross-multiplying, we get:
8x = 5 * 75
Simplifying:
8x = 375
Dividing both sides by 8:
x = 375 / 8
x ≈ 46.875
Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take Jamal about 47 days to fill the order of 75 toys. Therefore, the correct response is:
47 days
To find the number of days it will take to fill an order of 75 toys, we can set up a proportion:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
Cross multiplying the proportion, we get:
8x = 5 * 75
8x = 375
Dividing both sides by 8, we get:
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.
To find the number of days it will take Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we first need to determine how many toys he can make in one day.
To find this, we can set up a proportion using the average rate of 8 toys every 5 days:
8 toys / 5 days = x toys / 1 day
Cross-multiplying, we get:
8 toys * 1 day = 5 days * x toys
8 toys = 5x
Now, we can solve for x (the number of toys he can make in one day) by isolating it:
x = 8 toys / 5
x = 1.6 toys per day
Since we can't have a fraction of a toy, we can round this down to 1 toy per day.
Now, to determine the number of days it will take Jamal to make 75 toys, we divide the total number of toys by the number of toys he can make in one day:
75 toys / 1 toy per day = 75 days
Therefore, it will take Jamal approximately 75 days to fill an order of 75 toys. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the answer is 75 days.
