The roasting will be complete in two hours.

Given information:

Initial temperature of the meat in refrigerator is [tex]40^{\circ}[/tex] F.

The temperature of the oven is [tex]350^{\circ}[/tex] F.

In one hour, the final temperature of the meat in oven is [tex]90^{\circ}[/tex] F.

So, the rise in temperature of the meat in one hour is,

[tex]90-40=50^{\circ}\rm\;F[/tex]

Now, meat has to reach a temperature of 140 F to be roasted.

So, the time required for the same will be,

[tex]\dfrac{1}{50}\times (140-40)=\dfrac{1}{50}\times 100\\=2\rm\; hours[/tex]

Therefore, the roasting will be complete in two hours.
