Final answer:

The total time to complete 50 unique tasks, where each takes 10 minutes, is 500 minutes. The correct answer is option b) 500 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If each of the 50 unique tasks takes 10 minutes to complete, then the total time required to execute all the tasks is the product of the number of tasks and the time taken for each task. Therefore, the calculation to find the total time is 50 tasks multiplied by 10 minutes per task, which equals to 500 minutes. This can be represented as:

50 tasks Ă— 10 minutes/task = 500 minutes

The correct answer to how long it would take to execute all 50 tasks is option b) 500 minutes. Please note that this assumes tasks are executed consecutively, one after the other.

If the tasks were done in parallel as suggested, it could potentially reduce the overall time required, depending on the resources available and the potential for multitasking.
