George is cooking an elaborate meal. He can only cook one thing at a time in his microwave oven. His turkey takes 90 minutes; the pumpkin pie takes 20 minutes; rolls take 60 seconds; and a cup of coffee takes 45 seconds to heat. How much time does he need to cook the meal? When does he need to start in order to complete the cooking at 4 P. M.?

Let's convert all the seconds to minutes. We know that 60 seconds is equal to one minute. So,

60 seconds = 1 minutes

45 seconds = 45/60 minutes = 0.75 minutes

Time needed = Turkey + Pumpkin pie + Rolls + Coffee

Time needed = 90 + 20 + 1 + 0.75

Time needed = 111.75 minutes

Then, we'll calculate the time he need to start in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M. First, let's convert the minutes to clock format.

111.75 minutes = 1 hour and 51.75 minutes

111.75 minutes = 1 hour and 51 minutes and 45 seconds

Lastly, calculate the time he need to start in order to complete the cooking at 4 P.M.

4h 0m 0s - 1h 51m 45s = 2h 8m 15s

b, i believe, but not sure.
