Answer:
0.033 pounds/min
Step-by-step explanation:
For Meagen:
Time taken to cook golden turkey = 56 minutes
Weight of golden turkey = 12 pounds
For her competitor:
Time taken to cook golden turkey = 1 hour 16 minutes = 77 minutes
Weight of golden turkey = 304 ounces
<em>16 ounces = 1 pound</em>
Therefore, 304 ounces =
= 19 pounds
Now, let us find the number of pounds cooked per minute by each chef.
Pounds cooked per minute by Meagen = ![\frac{12}{56} = 0.214\ pounds/min](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B12%7D%7B56%7D%20%3D%200.214%5C%20pounds%2Fmin)
Pounds cooked per minute by the competitor = ![\frac{19}{77} = 0.247\ pounds/min](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B19%7D%7B77%7D%20%3D%200.247%5C%20pounds%2Fmin)
Difference = 0.247 - 0.214 = <em>0.033 pounds/min</em>
