Answer 1

Answer:

PLS MARK ME BRAINLIEST

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

12x3/4 = 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
