To find out how long it will take for Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, divide the number of toys by the number of toys he averages in 5 days: 75 toys / 8 toys per 5 days = 9.375. Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take Jamal approximately 9 days to fill the order.

To find out how long it will take for Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we can set up a proportion.
If Jamal makes 8 toys every 5 days, then in "x" days he would make (8/5) * x toys.
Setting up the proportion:
(8/5) * x = 75
To solve for x, we multiply both sides of the equation by (5/8):
x = 75 * (5/8)
x = 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take Jamal approximately 47 days to fill the order.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A 47 days
To find out how many days it will take Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we can use a proportion.
We know that Jamal is averaging 8 toys every 5 days. This can be written as the following ratio: 8 toys / 5 days.
Now we can set up a proportion using this ratio:
8 toys / 5 days = 75 toys / x days
To solve for x (the number of days it will take to fill the order), we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
8 * x = 5 * 75
8x = 375
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 8:
x = 375 / 8
x ≈ 46.875
Since we were asked to round to the nearest whole number of days, the answer is approximately 47 days. So it will take Jamal about 47 days to fill the order of 75 toys.
