The cooking time for ham is 2/5 of an hour for each pond. a.) how long should you cook a ham that weighs 12 3/4 pounds? b) dinner time is 4: 45 pm. what time should you start cooking

A)
First of all, let's work out 2/5 of an hour.
2/5 x 60(minutes)= 24 minutes.

Now that we know the minutes required for each pound of ham, we multiply the minutes by the pounds.

12 3/4 = 12.75

12.75 x 24 = 306(minutes)

Now we need to convert the minutes into hours:
306 / 60 = 5.1

.1 of an hour = 6 minutes

Therefore, we cook the ham for 5 hours and 6 minutes.

B)
4:45pm = 16 hours and 45 minutes

16h 45m - 5h 6m = 11.39:

Therefore you should start cooking at 11.39am
