If it takes 5 machines 5 minutes to make 5 widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?

It takes one machine 5 minutes to make 1 widget, and so 5 machines can make a total of 5 widgets. So I have 100 machines and I want to make 100 widgets, we already know that it takes 5 minutes to make 1 one widget so it should only take 5 minutes. The machines are all running at the same time no matter how many there are.

It would take 100 machines 100 minutes (1 hour and 40 minutes) to make 100 widgets.
It takes 1 minute to make each widget.
