A manufacturing cell has 5 machines A, B, C, D and E. The average cycle time (in minutes) for a job on each of the machines is given in the following table:
MachineABCDE
Average cycle time565.544.5

There are three operators in the cell. First operator operates machines A and B. The second operator operates machine C and the third operator operates machines D and E. All the jobs have to move in the following sequence:
A → B → C → D → E
Assuming the job transfer time between two machines to be negligible, the average cycle time (in minutes) for the manufacturing cell is
