Question

How many years will it take for a person in the United States eat 1,120 pounds of turkey (14 pounds)

Answer 1

If I understand you, a person eats about 14 pounds of turkey a year.  So we will divide all that turkey (1120 pounds) by 14 to find out how many years.

1,120 ÷ 14 = 80   So it will take 80 years.   (Since babies can't eat that much turkey a year it will actually take more than 80 years - or the person can eat more than 14 pounds in some years to make up for their early years when they ate less)  I know it's a math question, but I also like to be realistic about it.  Who measures the amount of turkey they eat yearly anyway?  :-)
