To find out how long 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
Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take approximately 47 days to fill an order of 75 toys.
To find out how many days it will take Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
We are told 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 and divide:
8x = 5 * 75
8x = 375
Dividing both sides by 8:
x = 375 / 8
Calculating this:
x ≈ 46.875
Since we need to round to the nearest whole number of days, the closest 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 the number of toys he produces in one day.
We know that Jamal is averaging 8 toys every 5 days. So, to find out how many toys he produces in one day, we can divide 8 by 5:
8 toys / 5 days = 1.6 toys per day
Since we can't have a fraction of a toy, we need to round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Jamal is producing 2 toys per day.
Now, we can calculate how many days it will take for him to fill an order of 75 toys:
75 toys / 2 toys per day = 37.5 days
Since we need to round to the nearest whole number of days, we round up to 38 days.
Therefore, it will take Jamal approximately 38 days to fill an order of 75 toys.
