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 point)
1. 47 days
2. 10 days
3. 375 days
4. 120 days
To find the answer, we can set up a proportion. If Jamal is averaging 8 toys every 5 days, then we can say that he averages 8/5 toys per day.
Let's set up the proportion:
(8 toys / 5 days) = (75 toys / x days)
Now we can cross-multiply:
8x = 75 * 5
8x = 375
Divide both sides by 8 to solve for x:
x = 375 / 8
x = 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number of days, it will take Jamal approximately 47 days (option 1) to fill an order of 75 toys.
