A small grill can hold two hamburgers at a time. If it takes 5 minutes to cook one side of a hamburger, what is the shortest time needed to cook both sides of five hamburgers?

To find the shortest time needed to cook both sides of five hamburgers, we need to calculate the total time it takes to cook one hamburger (both sides) and then multiply it by the number of hamburgers.
Given that it takes 5 minutes to cook one side of a hamburger, it will also take 5 minutes to cook the other side. Therefore, cooking one whole hamburger will take a total of 5 + 5 = 10 minutes.
Since we have five hamburgers, we need to multiply the time it takes to cook one hamburger (10 minutes) by the number of hamburgers:
10 minutes/hamburger * 5 hamburgers = 50 minutes.
So, the shortest time needed to cook both sides of five hamburgers is 50 minutes.
None of the options provided match the correct answer, as the correct answer is 50 minutes.
10 minutes for each burger
5 * 10 = 50
50 / 2 = ?
