Answer: The turkey must go into the oven at 10:25

Step-by-step explanation:

The turkey must cook for 5 1/2 hours. Changing from mixed fraction to improper fraction, 5 1/2 hours = 11/2 hours

It will take 15 minutes to carve the turkey. This means that it will take 15 minutes to prepare the turkey after it has been brought out of the oven.

Total amount of time before the turkey is ready is the sum of the amount of time used in carving the turkey and amount of time required. to cook it. It becomes

11/2 + 15 minutes

Converting 15 minutes to hours,

60 minutes = 1 hour

15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hours.

Total amount of time before the turkey is ready = 11/2 + 1/4 = 23/4

= 5.75 hours

You want to eat at 4:00.

The turkey must go into the oven at 10:25

= 5 hours 30 minutes + 15 minutes

= 5 hours 45 minutes

If you want to eat at 4, you will have to start cooking at:

= 4 pm - 5 hours 45 minutes

= 10:15 am
