If a turkey takes two hours and forty-five minutes to cook, and you place it in at 3:30, what time will it be ready.

Answer:

It will be ready at 6:15

Explanation:

So you've got 2:45 for it to cook and it's been placed at 3:30. You can put it simply like:

2:45+3:30=x

x would represent the unknown time, all you need to do is add.

It's 5:75, but an hour only goes to 60 minutes and you've gone to 75.

You have to subtract 60 from the minute marker and add an hour:

5:75

-60

6:15
