The scatter plot shows how the cooking time for a beef roast is related to its weight. which statement is not supported by the trend in the scatter plot?
a. each additional pound adds about 12 hour of cooking time.
b. an 11-pound roast will take about 4 hours to cook.
c. a 16-pound roast will take about 6.5 hours to cook.
d. each additional pound adds about one hour of cooking time.

the statement that is not supported by the trend in the scatter plot is d) each additional pound adds about one hour of cooking time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The last statement is not supported by the scatter plot, because the ratio shown is not 1:1, that is, per one hour cooking time one more pound, that is not true.

We can take the first two points as a counterexample that demonstrate this. The first point is (11;4), that is, a 11 pounds beef takes 4 hours to be cooked, then the second point is (12;4.5), that is, a 12 pounds beef takes 4.5 hours to be cooked, just increase half an hour, therefore, the last option is not support by the data showed in the scatter plot.

4/6 = 2/3

so it should take 3/3 hours per man. so 9 hours is the answer 3*3 =9
