Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in English. Please answer in English.

### Instruction:
If 8 carpenters can make 50 chairs in 10 days, how many carpenters are needed to make 75 chairs in 10 days?

### Response:
The carpenters need to produce 75 chairs / 50 chairs = <<75/50=1.5>>1.5 times as many chairs in the same number of days.
It will require 1.5 times as many carpenters to produce the extra chairs, so 8 carpenters * 1.5 = 12 carpenters will be required.
