Jamal is creating toys to sell. He is averaging 8 toys every 5 days. If he continues at this rate, how many days will it take to fill an order of 75? Round to the nearest whole number of days.
1. 47 days
2. 10 days
3. 120 days
4. 375 days
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 = 375
Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
x = 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number of days, the answer is 47 days.
Therefore, the correct option is 1. 47 days.
