If a 4 pound roast takes 150 minutes to cook, how long should a 5 pound roast take ?

Hey there!

To figure this out, find the time it would take for 1 lb by dividing 150 by 4.
150 / 4 = 37.5

It takes 37 and a half minutes to cook 1 lb.

Now, multiply that by 5, to find out how many 5 lb would be.

37.5 * 5 = 187.5

It takes 187 and a half minutes to cook.

Hope this helps!
