The chef allowed 20 minutes cooking time per pound for a roast weighing 6 lbs. 12 oz. If the roast was placed in the oven at 4:20 P.M., it should be done by
A: 6:00 P.M.
B: 6:32 P.M.
C: 6:35 P.M.
D: 7:12 P.M.

Respuesta :

Its C because it equals 120 minutes which is 20 times 6 and you have to add because 12 ounces is .75 lbs and 75% of 20 minutes is 15 and you add 15 minutes to the time which it will be 6:35

By converting ounce to pound, If the roast was placed in the oven at 4:20 pm, it should be done by 6:35 pm.

How to convert ounces to pound?

1 ounce (oz) is equal to 0.0625 pounds (lbs.).

6 lbs. 12 oz. = 6 lbs. + 12(0.0625) lbs. = 6.75 lbs.

Time taken to roast 1 pound = 20 minutes

Time taken to roast 6.75 pounds = 6.75 * 20 = 135 minutes = 2 hours 15 minutes

If the roast was placed in the oven at 4:20 pm, it should be done by 4:20 pm + 2 hours 15 minutes = 6:35 pm.
