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 get:
x = 375/8 ≈ 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take approximately 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 can set up a proportion:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
Cross multiplying, we get:
8 * x = 5 * 75
8x = 375
Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
x = 375 / 8
Using a calculator, we find that x is approximately 46.875.
Since we need a whole number of days, we can round up to 47 days.
So, it will take approximately 47 days to fill an order of 75 toys.
To find the number of days it will take for Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we need to use the information given: he averages 8 toys every 5 days.
First, we need to find how many sets of 8 toys he can produce in 5 days.
8 toys / 5 days = 1.6 toys/day
Next, we need to find how many sets of 1.6 toys he can produce in 1 day, since we want to find the number of days it will take to make 75 toys.
1 day / 1.6 toys = 0.625 days/toy
To find the number of days it will take to make 75 toys, we divide 75 toys by 0.625 days/toy.
75 toys / 0.625 days/toy = 120 days
Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take Jamal approximately 120 days to fill an order of 75 toys.
