What do you think?

Answered by Ms. Sue
You have two numbers -- 12 and 20

What can you do with these two numbers (add, subtract, multiply, divide) that will give you a reasonable answer?

Answered by miranda
I can multiply 12 by 20 and get 240, is that correct
Answered by Ms. Sue
Right. It will take 240 minutes to cook the ham.

How many hours is 240 minutes?

What time should you put the ham in the oven so that it will be done at 5:00?

Answered by miranda
4 hours at 2:00
Answered by Ms. Sue
It will take 4 hours. But you'd better refigure what time she has to put it in the oven.
