Question

Mrs. Corn is making a turkey dinner. It is 22 pounds. It takes 20 minutes a pound to cook a stuffed turkey and 15 minutes a pound to cook an unstuffed turkey. How many more minutes does it take to cook a stuffed turkey than to cook one that is unstuffed?​

Answer 1

Answer:

110 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of turkey = 20 pounds

Time taken for a pound of stuffed turkey to get cooked = 20 minutes

Time taken for a pound of unstuffed turkey to get cooked = 15 minutes

Time taken for a 22 pound of stuffed turkey to get cooked = 20 × 22

= 440 minutes

Time taken for a 22 pound of unstuffed turkey to get cooked = 15 × 22

= 330 minutes

Difference of time to get cooked between a stuffed and unstuffed turkey = 440 - 330

= 110 minutes

110 more minutes are taken to cook a stuffed turkey than to cook one that is unstuffed.
