Given in the question, number of pounds of turkey varies directly with the number of people, i.e as the number of people increases or decreases, the pound of turkey also increases or decreases.

Taking,

x = number of people,

y = pounds of turkey.

This condition can be represented as,

$\Rightarrow y\ \alpha \ x\\\Rightarrow y=kx$

As given in the question, when x = 6 y = 3

$\Rightarrow 3=k\times 6$

$\Rightarrow k=\frac{3}{6}= \frac{1}{2}$

Now, putting the values of k in the equation, the equation becomes

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}x$

Now, we can get the values of y or number of pounds of turkey needed by putting the given x or number of people.

All the calculations are shown in the attached table.

An upper quartile is the range of numbers above the median in a set. Thus, the numbers have to be rearranged mentally or on paper. Fortunately, there are an odd set of numbers, so one number, 25, is the median. The upper quartile is 30, 35, 40, 45.
