Weekly Challenge
November 15-19, 2004
I bought a 15 pound turkey for Thanksgiving dinner
this year. When I read the directions on the turkey wrapper, it said
to cook the turkey 20 minutes per pound. What time do I need to put
the turkey in the oven, if I am planning to eat at 2:00 p.m.?
Show your work (hint: draw or use a clock).
For 4th and 5th graders: How much did my turkey cost me this year (I
paid 17 cents a pound)? Don't forget to solve the problem above.
