It takes 15 minutes to preheat your oven to 325 degrees. For an oven preheated to 325 degrees, the recommended cooking time for

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

(a) T = (15 + 16p) minutes

(b) It will takes approximately 239 minutes to prepare a turkey weighing 14 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To determine the total time T needed to preheat the oven and then bake a turkey weighing p pounds

We will sum the time needed to preheat the oven to the time needed to bake the turkey.

From the question,

It takes 15 minutes to preheat the oven to 325 degrees;

Also,

It takes 16 minutes per pound to bake a turkey in the preheated oven.

That is, to bake a turkey weighing p pounds in the preheated oven, it will take

p pounds × 16 minutes / pound = 16p minutes

Hence, the total time T needed to preheat the oven and then bake a turkey weighing p pounds is

T = 15 minutes + 16p minutes

T = (15 + 16p) minutes

This is the formula that express the total time T, in minutes, needed to preheat the oven and then bake a turkey

(b) To find the approximate time required to prepare a turkey weighing 14 pounds.

From the formula in (a)

T = (15 + 16p) minutes

where p is the weight in pounds of a turkey

Then,

T = 15 + 16(14)

T = 15 + 224

T = 239 minutes

Hence, it will takes approximately 239 minutes to prepare a turkey weighing 14 pounds

Answer:

128 ft sq.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way you find the area of a square is by multiplying one side by another, and since it is a square, the sides are the same. This means that if we have a square with a side length of x, the way to find the area of that square is to multiply x by x, which can be written as $x^2$ . Now, since we're doubling this, we can say that double Mary's garden is $2 * x^2$ . If we substitute 8 in for x, we have to multiply $8^2$ by 2 or 8 by 8 by 2 to find our answer. 8 times 8 is 64 and 64 times 2 is 128.
