A one pound brisket takes 50 minutes to cook at 375°F. How long would it take a 3 1/2 pound brisket to cook?

Respuesta :

Assuming cooking time is linear, multiplying 50 by 3.5 would give you 175 minutes or two hours and 55 minutes.
assuming its the same temp, use this equation for pounds and minutes then solve:

[tex] \frac{1}{3.5} = \frac{50}{x} [/tex]

cross multiply 

50(3.5) = 175 minutes 

it'll take an 2 hours 55  minutes
