Question

It takes 3 hours to cook an 8 pound turkey how many hours will a 14 pound turkey take.

Answer 1

It will take 5 hours 15 minutes to cook 14 pound of turkey

What is rate?

rate is a ratio that compares two different quantities which have different units. For example, if we say John types 50 words in a minute, then his rate of typing is 50 words per minute. The word "per" gives a clue that we are dealing with a rate.

if it takes 3 hours to cook 8 pounds of turkey,

then it will take 3/8 hour to cook 1 pound of turkey.

The time taken to cook 14 pound of turkey is 3/8 x 14 = 5.25 hours

converting 0.25 hour to minute is 0.25 x 60 = 15 minutes.

so it takes 5 hours 15 minutes to cook 14 pound of turkey.

In conclusion 5 hours 15 minutes is the time needed to cook 14 pound of turkey.
