To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion.
If Milly sells 8 boxes every 3 days, we can write the proportion:
8 boxes / 3 days = 56 boxes / x days
Cross multiplying, we get:
8x = 3 * 56
Simplifying, we have:
8x = 168
Dividing both sides by 8, we find:
x = 21
Therefore, it will take Milly 21 days to sell 56 boxes.
Therefore, the answer is 21 days.
