1 answer

To find out how many days it will take to fill an order of 75, we can set up a proportion.

If Jamal is averaging 8 toys every 5 days, then in 1 day he is making 8/5 toys.

Let x be the number of days it will take to make 75 toys.

Setting up the proportion:
8/5 = 75/x

Cross-multiplying:
8x = 375

Dividing both sides by 8:
x = 46.875

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

Answer: A 47 days
