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
A.375 days
B.47 days
C.10 days
D.120 days
If Jamal is averaging 8 toys every 5 days, then in one day he is making 8/5 toys.
To fill an order of 75 toys, it will take him 75/(8/5)=93.75≈94 days. Therefore, the answer is B. 47 days.
To find out how many days it will take for Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we need to find the number of sets of 5 days it will take for him to make 75 toys.
Since Jamal is averaging 8 toys every 5 days, we can set up a ratio:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
Cross-multiplying, we get:
8 * x = 75 * 5
8x = 375
To find the value of x, we divide both sides of the equation by 8:
x = 375 / 8
x ≈ 46.875
Therefore, it will take Jamal approximately 47 days (rounding to the nearest whole number) to fill an order of 75 toys.
So, the correct answer is B. 47 days.
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion to find the number of days it will take to fill the order.
Jamal is averaging 8 toys every 5 days. So, the rate of filling the order would be 8 toys per 5 days.
Let 'x' be the number of days it will take to fill the order of 75 toys.
We can set up a proportion: 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
Since we need to round to the nearest whole number of days, the answer is approximately 47 days.
Therefore, the answer is B. 47 days.
