Mr. croft is getting ready for and needs some . he needs some advice on cooking his turkey. he bought a 16 1/2 pound turkey. the cookbook says to cook the turkey for 20 minutes per pound and 25 minutes per pound if the turkey is stuffed. he plans on stuffing his turkey. if he has to have dinner ready for 12: 45 pm what is the exact time he needs to put the turkey in the oven? oh yeah, the cookbook says to let the turkey cool for 10 minutes after coming out the oven.

5:42:2 am

Step-by-step explanation:

He bought a 16 1/2 pound turkey. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes 33/2 pounds of turkey.

The cookbook says to cook the turkey for 20 minutes per pound and 25 minutes per pound if the turkey is stuffed. Since he wants to stuff the Turkey, he would have to cook for 25 minutes per pound. The total amount of time that he would have to cook the stuffed turkey will be 25 × 33/2 = 412.5 minutes

Let us converted to hours

If 60 minutes = 1 hour,

412.5 minutes = 412.5/60 = 6.875

He would spend 6.875 = 55/8 hours

in cooking the stuffed turkey.

The cookbook also says to let the turkey cool for 10 minutes after coming out the oven. Let us convert the 10 minutes to hours

60 minutes = 1 hour

10 minutes = 10/60 = 1/6

Total time it will take to get the Turkey ready for dinner will be

1/6 + 55/8 = 169/24 = 7.042 hours which means 7 hours, 2 minutes and 58 seconds

If he has to have dinner ready for 12:45 pm, he needs to put the turkey in the oven at 5:42:2 am at most

ou would have 12 of each

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point
