It will take Anthony 75 minutes to complete the entire group of 180 place cards.

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion:

12 place cards / 5 minutes = 180 place cards / x minutes

Cross-multiplying, we get:

12x = 900

Dividing both sides by 12, we get:

x = 75

Therefore, it will take Anthony 75 minutes to complete the entire group of 180 place cards.
