Answer:
12 seconds will be needed to fill the toffee box.
Step-by-step explanation:
Joey takes the time to fill \(\frac{1}{5}\) of a box = \(\frac{1}{25}\) of a minute.
\(\frac{1}{25}\) of a minute = \(\frac{1}{25}\times 60\) seconds
= 2.4 seconds
Now we will use unitary method to get the time to fill a toffee box.
∵ \(\frac{1}{5}\) box is filled in the duration = 2.4 seconds
∴ A box can be filled in the time = \(\frac{2.4}{\frac{1}{5} }\)
= 2.4×5
= 12 seconds
Therefore, 12 seconds will be needed to fill the toffee box.
