Sometimes you get a list of math questions and you calculate the answers. Let's turn this around for an interesting challenge.
Given some facts, make a math problem.
Every year I make a big turkey - 30 lbs. There are several serious math problems involved. If I make an error in my calculations, dinner will be delayed or the bird will be undercooked. Consider - When will I need to start defrosting it, so that I can stuff it Wednesday evening? I serve Thanksgiving dinner at 1pm. When will I need to get the stuffed bird in the oven to have 30 minutes for it to rest before carving? Dimensions - Is my oven large enough to hold the turkey? The year I made the 30 pound bird it barely fit into my oven! For that matter, will the bird even fit in my roasting pan?
