Answer:

1:15 pm

Given:

-the turkey weighs 11.25 pounds

-it takes 12 min to cook a pound of turkey

-dinner is at 3:00 pm

Step by step:

(number of minutes) x (number of pounds)

Round 11.25 to 11

12x11= 132

0.25 pounds is 12/4 (0.25 is 1/4 of a whole)= 3

132+3= 135

It takes 135 minutes to cook a turkey,

135 min = 2.25 hours (2 hours and 15 minutes)

1:15 pm you need to start cooking.
