Question

3. Jordan cooked a 16 1/5 pound turkey in 5 2/5 hours. How many minutes per

Answer 1

Answer:

20 minutes per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the unit rate divide the total time by the total weight

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$16\frac{1}{5}\ lb=\frac{16*5+1}{5}=\frac{81}{5}\ lb$

$5\frac{2}{5}\ lb=\frac{5*5+2}{5}=\frac{27}{5}\ h$

Convert hours to minutes

$1\ h=60\ min$

so

$\frac{27}{5}\ h=\frac{27}{5}(60)=324\ min$

Find the unit rate

$\frac{324}{\frac{81}{5}}=\frac{1,620}{81}=20\ \frac{min}{lb}$

therefore

20 minutes per pound
