To find out how long it will take for Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, divide the number of toys by the number of toys he averages in 5 days: 75 toys / 8 toys per 5 days = 9.375. Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take Jamal approximately 9 days to fill the order.

To find out how long it will take for Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we can set up a proportion.
If Jamal makes 8 toys every 5 days, then in "x" days he would make (8/5) * x toys.
Setting up the proportion:
(8/5) * x = 75
To solve for x, we multiply both sides of the equation by (5/8):
x = 75 * (5/8)
x = 46.875
Rounding to the nearest whole number, it will take Jamal approximately 47 days to fill the order.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A 47 days
