Question

Lee is helping his parents plan a big family dinner.The recipe for roast turkey says that they should bake the turkey at 475 farenheit for 45 minutes.Then they have to lower the oven temperature to 375 farenheit and bake the turkey fo 1:30 hours longer.Finally,they have to let the turkey cool for 15 minutes before serving it.If they want to have dinner at 6:30 p.m.,what time do they need ti put the turkey in the oven?

Answer 1

They need to put the turkey in the oven at 4:30pm.

In order to determine this, we first need to add together all of the times that we are preparing the turkey.

45mins + 1hr and 30mins + 15min = 1 hr and 90mins or 2hrs and 30mins

Now, since we know it takes 2 hours and 30mins to prepare, we subtract 2 hours and 30 mins from the goal finish time of 6:30pm.

6:30pm - 2 hrs 30 mins = 4:00pm

Answer 2

They need to put the turkey in the oven by 4:00 P.M. because it would take 2 hours and 30 minutes to cook and cool the turkey.
