Answer:

20 minutes per pound

Explanation:

we know that

To find the unit rate divide the total time by the total weight

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction


16(1)/(5)\ lb=(16*5+1)/(5)=(81)/(5)\ lb


5(2)/(5)\ lb=(5*5+2)/(5)=(27)/(5)\ h

Convert hours to minutes


1\ h=60\ min

so


(27)/(5)\ h=(27)/(5)(60)=324\ min

Find the unit rate


(324)/((81)/(5))=(1,620)/(81)=20\ (min)/(lb)

therefore

20 minutes per pound
