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?

If you were to grill two hamburgers at the same it would take 5 minutes to grill one side of 2 hamburgers and ten minutes to grill 2 ham burgers on both sides. So 10 minutes would make two hamburgers while 20 minutes will cook 4 hamburgers than add and extra 10 minutes to cook the last hamburger on both sides. 10 minutes = 2 both side cooked hamburgers + 10 minutes = 2 both side cooked hamburgers + an extra 10 minutes = another both side cooked hamburgers since we only need five
30 minutes in minimal time to cook five hamburgers

The shortest time needed to cook both sides of five hamburgers on a grill that can hold two at a time is 30 minutes.
To cook both sides of five hamburgers on a small grill that can hold two hamburgers at a time, you'll need to cook them in batches. Since each side of a hamburger takes 5 minutes to cook, you'll cook one side of each hamburger, then flip them over and cook the other side.

So for each batch of two hamburgers, it takes: 5 minutes (1st side) + 5 minutes (2nd side) = 10 minutes

For five hamburgers, you'll need to cook them in three batches:



Cook the first two hamburgers (10 minutes)
Cook the next two hamburgers (10 minutes)
Cook the last hamburger (10 minutes)


So the shortest time needed to cook both sides of five hamburgers is:

10 minutes (batch 1) + 10 minutes (batch 2) + 10 minutes (batch 3) = 30 minutes.

The shortest time needed to cook both sides of five hamburgers on a small grill that can hold two at a time is 30 minutes. This is because it takes 10 minutes for each batch of hamburgers, requiring three batches to cook five hamburgers. The total time for cooking is the sum of the individual batch times.
