Choose an answer
A.100 minutes

C.500 minutes
D.5 minutes. We can assume that one chicken is placed in each microwave and that each chicken takes 5 minutes to cook.
Answer: 5 minutes. We can assume that one chicken is placed in each microwave and that each chicken takes 5 minutes to cook.
Each microwave cooks one chicken in 5 minutes independently, so adding more microwaves doesn't change the time per batch.
