To find out how many days it will take Jamal to fill an order of 75 toys, we first need to determine his rate of production.

Jamal produces 8 toys in 5 days. We can find his production rate per day:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{8 \text{ toys}}{5 \text{ days}} = 1.6 \text{ toys/day} \]

Next, to find out how many days it will take to produce 75 toys, we use the formula:

\[ \text{Days} = \frac{\text{Total Toys}}{\text{Rate}} = \frac{75 \text{ toys}}{1.6 \text{ toys/day}} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ \text{Days} = \frac{75}{1.6} = 46.875 \]

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

Therefore, the answer is:

47 days
