Question 235594: If the instructoins for cooking a turkey state "Roast turkey at 325 degrees for 20 minutes per pound," how many hours will it take to roast a 20 pound turkey? Found 2 solutions by Alan3354, solver91311:Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
20 minutes is 1/3 hour. So 3 lbs take 1 hour. 3 goes into 20lbs 6 and 2/3 times. So 6 and 2/3 hour. Since 20 min is 1/3 hour, 40 min must be 2/3 hour, so 6 hours 40 minutes.
