    Megan is not correct

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since it takes 20 minutes to cook per kg, a total of 5.4kg will take 20 * 5.4 minutes to cook = 108 minutes to cook

    Now, to cook for another 90 minutes. Time now is thus 90 + 108 = 198 minutes

    Again, she is to leave for 30 minutes

    So therefore, total time spent in cooking the chicken = 198 minutes + 30 minutes = 228 minutes

    So the difference in time between 2:30 pm and 6pm is 3 hrs : 30 minutes

    There are 60 minutes in an hour, so total amount of minutes is 3 (60) + 30 = 180 + 30 = 210 minutes

    What we calculated in minutes is more than what Megan says the cooking will take. So Megan isn't correct
