Well, let's figure it out, by longhand, if that's easier.

18 minutes for the first pound...
another 18 minutes for the second pound...
another 18 minutes for the third pound...
another 18 minutes for the fourth pound...
another 18 minutes for the fifth pound...
another 18 minutes for the sixth pound...
another 18 minutes for the seventh pound...
another 18 minutes for the eighth pound...

That's 18 minutes eight different times. 18 minutes x 8 = 144 minutes
144 minutes is exactly two hours and 24 minutes.

So there's your answer. If the recipe calls for 18 minutes for each pound, and your ham is 8 pounds, you need to cook it just short of 2.5 hours.
