Excel Gurus, I need your help!

This is probably very simple but I cannot find the answer of the life of me.

I want to create a time on task calculator where you can put in a multiple of a predefined task and it will work out the time it should take to complete that task, for example:

I define that picking 5 apples takes 2 minutes. I put in 45 apples picked and the formula states the time taken, in HH:MM and displays in another cell

I also need it to "round up" in case someone enters 7 apples instead of multiples of 5.

Hopefully this makes sense.

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Try this:
