To find the answer, we can set up a proportion:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
Cross-multiply and solve for x:
8x = 75 * 5
8x = 375
x = 375 / 8
x ≈ 46.875
Rounded to the nearest whole number, it will take approximately 47 days to fill the 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 can use a proportion.
First, let's set up the proportion using the information given:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
8x = 5 * 75
8x = 375
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
x = 375 / 8
x ≈ 46.88
Since we need to round to the nearest whole number of days, the answer is approximately 47 days (since we can't have a fraction of a day).
So the correct answer is 47 days.
To find out how many days it will take to fill an order of 75 toys, we need to divide the total number of toys by the average number of toys Jamal creates every 5 days.
75 toys / 8 toys every 5 days ≈ 9.375
Since we need to round to the nearest whole number of days, it will take approximately 9 days to fill the order of 75 toys.
