Question

Cooking time for a turkey is 1/3 of an hour per pound. If you have at most 4 hours to cook the turkey, what is the biggest turkey you can buy?

Answer 1

There are three 1/3's in an hour ( 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1)

You can cook 3 pounds every hour.

At most you can cook 4 hours. Multiply 4 by 3:

4 x 3 = 12 pounds.
