Choose an answer
A.100 minutes
B.20 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.
Hint: It's a 20-word phrase with 91 letters, starting with "5".
Answer
5 minutes. We can assume that one chicken is placed in each microwave and that each chicken takes 5 minutes to cook.
Why this is the answer
Since each microwave cooks one chicken independently in 5 minutes, adding more microwaves doesn't change the per-batch cook time.
