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)
A. 120 days
B. 47 days
C. 10 days
D. 375 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, we get:
8x = 75 * 5
8x = 375
Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
x = 375 / 8
x = 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number of days, we get:
x = 47
Therefore, it will take approximately 47 days to fill an order of 75 toys.
The answer is B. 47 days.
To find out how many days it will take Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we can set up a proportion.
Let x be the number of days it will take to fill the order.
We know that Jamal is averaging 8 toys every 5 days, so we can set up the proportion:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
8x = 5 * 75
8x = 375
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
x = 375 / 8
x = 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number of days, it will take Jamal approximately 47 days to fill the order.
Therefore, the answer is B. 47 days.
To calculate the number of days it will take to fill an order of 75 toys, we need to find the ratio between the number of toys produced and the number of days it takes.
Jamal is averaging 8 toys every 5 days. So, the ratio is 8 toys / 5 days.
Now, we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of days:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
8 * x = 5 * 75
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 8 to isolate x:
x = (5 * 75) / 8
Simplifying the equation, we get:
x = 375 / 8
Calculating this, we find that x is approximately 46.875.
Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we get 47.
Therefore, it will take approximately 47 days to fill an order of 75 toys.
The correct answer is B. 47 days.
