If you expect it to take about 2 3/4 hours to perfect the recipe and a half of hour to create a detailed Store list how long will it be before you are able to leave for the store

Answer: It will be 3 hours and 25 minutes before you are able to leave for the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve the simple parts. Let's convert the hours to minutes: 2 hours = 120 minutes.

Next we find out the 3/4 of an hour. 1/4 of an hour is 15 minutes so you add 15 three times (15+15+15) to get 45 minutes. Now you add up all the answers into an equation: 120+45. Your answer should be 165 minutes to perfect a recipe. Then the half hour part is 30 minutes. Add all this up and you get 195 minutes. Finally you simplify: 195 minutes = 3 hours and 25 minutes.
