A. 10 days

D. 120 days

1 answer

B. 47 days

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

8 toys/5 days = 75 toys/x days

Cross multiply to solve for x:

8x = 75*5
8x = 375
x = 375/8
x ≈ 46.875

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