Question

375 days

47 days

120 days

10 days

Answer 1

To find the number of days it will take to fill the order of 75 toys, we set up a proportion:

8 toys/5 days = 75 toys/x days

Cross multiplying, we get:

8x = 375

Dividing both sides by 8, we have:

x = 375/8

x ≈ 46.875

Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take approximately 47 days to fill the order of 75 toys.

So the correct answer is option B: 47 days.
