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

Answer:

(A) [tex]5\frac{1}{10}hour[/tex]

(B)  11 : 39 am

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to cook one pond = 2/5 of an hour

(A) Time taken to cook 12   3/4 pond = 12  3/4 x time taken to cook one pond

                                 = [tex]12\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{2}{5}[/tex]

                                 = [tex]5\frac{1}{10}hour[/tex]

Thus, the time taken to cook the required pond is  [tex]5\frac{1}{10}hour[/tex].

(B) Time = 5.1 hour

Dinner time = 4 : 45 pm

Time to start cooking = 4 : 45 pm - 5.1 hour = 4 : 45 pm - 5 hour 6 minutes

                                    = 11 : 39 am

Thus, you should start cooking at 11 : 39 am.
