To find the number of days it will take 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 = 75 * 5
8x = 375
Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
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.
To find the number of days it will take for Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we can use the concept of rates.
According to the problem, Jamal is averaging 8 toys every 5 days, which means he produces 8/5 toys per day.
We can set up a proportion to solve for the unknown number of days:
(8 toys / 5 days) = (75 toys / x days)
Now, we can cross multiply to solve for x:
8x = 5 * 75
8x = 375
Dividing both sides by 8 gives us:
x = 375 / 8
x ≈ 46.875
Round to the nearest whole number of days, we get:
x ≈ 47
So, it will take Jamal approximately 47 days to fill an order of 75 toys. Therefore, the correct answer is 47 days.
To find out how many days it will take for Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we need to figure out how many groups of 8 toys he can make.
8 toys every 5 days means Jamal is making 8/5 = 1.6 toys per day.
To make 75 toys, he will need 75/1.6 = 46.875 days.
Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take Jamal approximately 47 days to fill the order of 75 toys.
Therefore, the correct answer is 47 days.
