If a 4-pound roast takes 150 minutes to cook, how long should a five-pound roast take?

It would be 187.5 minutes because we divided 150 by 4 to see how long it took to cook per pound, and got 37.5, which we then multiplied by 5 in order to get to 187.5 minutes.

This is a math question not a geography question, but your answer is 187.5

because 150 divided by 4 is 37.5, 37.5 times 5 equals 187.5.
