1 answer

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 = 75 * 5
8x = 375

Dividing both sides by 8, we find:

x = 375 / 8
x = 46.875

Rounding to the nearest whole number of days, we get:

x = 47

Therefore, it will take approximately 47 days to fill an order of 75 toys.

The answer is B. 47 days.
