Question

Mr.david bakes a sweet potato pie in the oven at 350 degrees for 55 minutes. Then he lets the pie cool for 2 hours. How many minutes does the pie spend baking and cooling?

Answer 1

The sweet potato pie spends 175 minutes baking and cooling.

How to find minutes?

To find the total time the pie spends baking and cooling, add the time spent baking and the time spent cooling.

1. Baking time: 55 minutes

2. Cooling time: 2 hours

To convert 2 hours to minutes, multiply by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour):

2 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 120 minutes

Now, add the baking time and cooling time:

55 minutes (baking) + 120 minutes (cooling) = 175 minutes

So, the sweet potato pie spends 175 minutes baking and cooling.
