How do I insert text in a formula result?

I would like to include text in a cell that concatenates a numerical formula result and a text unit.

For example,
a result of B1 x B5 might equal 25
But I want a cell to return the answer "25 minutes"

Thanks

I should clarify - I want the text to be the same always, not drawn from another cell. I would like "minutes" to be part of the formula that returns the result to the cell.

That could be:

=B1 * B5 & " minutes"

Or, if you wish the cell to be a number rather than a text value, you could custom format the display to:

0 "minutes"
