It takes 5 salesmen ? days to sell 5000 boxes of soap
For 3 to be 5 we need to multiply it by [tex] \frac{5}{3} [/tex]
Since the ratio in salesmen and the number of days is indirect multiply 8 by [tex] \frac{3}{5} [/tex]
[tex]8* \frac{3}{5} =4 \frac{4}{5} [/tex]
It will take them [tex] 4\frac{4}{5} [/tex] days
