It will take 1/5 of a minute or 12 seconds. Multiply the 1/25 minute by 5 to get the time it will take to fill the whole Toffee box.

Answer:


1/5\ minutes or
12\ sec

Explanation:

we know that

Joey fills
1/5 of a Toffee box in
1/25 of a minute

so

by proportion

Find how much time will it take to fill a Toffee box


((1/25))/((1/5))(minutes)/(Toffe\ box) =(x)/(1)(minutes)/(Toffe\ box)\\ \\x=5/25\\ \\x=1/5\ minutes

Convert to seconds


1/5\ minutes=(1/5)*60=12\ sec
