Answer:

20 fries per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you express the number of fries per minute as 100/5 (as there are 5 minutes and 100 fries), assuming she ate at the same rate per minute, she had 20 fries per minute.

To check, multiply 20 by 5, in order to find out her fries per 5 minutes. It should be equal to 100.
