Answer 1

To find out how many days it will take Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys at his current rate of producing 8 toys every 5 days, we can first determine how many toys he produces per day.

1. Calculate the daily production rate:
\[
\text{Toys per day} = \frac{8 \text{ toys}}{5 \text{ days}} = 1.6 \text{ toys/day}
\]

2. Next, we need to find out how many days it will take him to produce 75 toys:
\[
\text{Days needed} = \frac{75 \text{ toys}}{1.6 \text{ toys/day}} \approx 46.875 \text{ days}
\]

3. Rounding to the nearest whole number:
\[
\text{Days needed} \approx 47 \text{ days}
\]

Therefore, the answer is **47 days**.
