I won't show steps but I'll give you one piece of advice: Ignore the dude who suggests an answer of: 12 * 275 * 8 minutes.
He has absolutely no idea what he's doing! He's totally, totally CLUELESS, but still continues to furnish people with INCORRECT answers.
AVOID him at all COSTS! Most people know this by now, as they've been warned many, many times.
