In 5 days, Jamal can create 8 toys.
Therefore, in 1 day, Jamal can create 8 toys / 5 days = 1.6 toys.
To create 75 toys, he will need 75 toys / 1.6 toys/day = 46.875 days.
Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take Jamal 47 days to fill the order of 75 toys.
To find out how many days it will take to fill an order of 75 toys, we need to determine how many sets of 8 toys can be made from 75.
To do this, we divide 75 by 8:
75 ÷ 8 = 9.375
Since we can't have a fraction of a day, we round this answer to the nearest whole number.
Rounding 9.375 to the nearest whole number gives us 9.
Therefore, it will take approximately 9 days to fill an order of 75 toys.
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, we get:
8x = 375
Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
x = 375 / 8
Calculating this, we get:
x ≈ 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take approximately 47 days to fill the order of 75 toys.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
47 days
