Answer:

12 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Altogether, the Patel family has a 6-pound turkey. One person equals half a pound.

Thus,

It is 6-pound divided by 1/2, equaling 12.

N = number of people unknown
1/2 lb times N = 6 lb turkey
1/2N=6
Multiply both sides by 2 or divide both sides by 1/2 (same thing)
N= 12 people

Hope this helps. Have a great day.
