Final answer:

The turkey will be ready at 1:30 PM.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out when the turkey will be ready, we need to add the cooking time to the time it was put in the oven.

5 hours and 15 minutes can be written as 5:15 in time format.

Adding 5 hours and 15 minutes to 8:15 AM:

  1. 8 + 5 = 13 (carry over 1)
  2. 15 + 15 = 30 minutes

So, the turkey will be ready at 1:30 PM.

8:15 + 5:00 = 13:15
13:15 + 0:15 = 13:30

The turkey will be ready at 1:30pm
