The wording of these questions always tricks people.
A strategy to detangle it:
Ask yourself: What can one cat do?
One cat can kill one mouse in 5 minutes.
Think about it. Although you may be tempted to divide everything by 5 and make the false claim that 1 cat can kill 1 mouse in 1 minute, this is patently false because if you scale it back up to check your answer, you will find yourself making the claim that one cat singlehandedly can kill 5 mice in 5 minutes. You know this is wrong because it makes the other 4 cats redundant (if 1 cat could achieve the kill rate attributable to all five cats, what were the other 4 cats doing in the meantime?)
So since 1 cat can kill 1 mouse in 5 minutes, it is easy to see that 100 cats can kill 100 mice in 5 minutes.
Basically, 5 minutes is the time it takes for a cat to kill a mouse.
a hundred cats = a hundred kills
This is a horrible question because it really sounds like the death of the critters is drawn out (5 minutes is a long time for death throes).
