A pencil making machine took 1/10 of a second to make enough pencils to fill 1/2 of a box. At this rate, how long would it take the machine to fill the entire box

Answer:

2/10 of a second

Explanation:

Maybe i'm reading the question wrong but it seems to me that you would double the seconds to make a enough pencils to fill an entire box.

Therefore, it would take 2/10 of a second to fill the full box.
