Answer: A. $15.5
B. 1:10 pm
Explanation:
A. We will use the formula,
y = kx
where,
y = cost of turkey = $21.36
x = weight of turkey = 24.1lb
k = constant of proportionality
Therefore,
21.36 = 24.1k
k = 21.36/24.1
k = 0.8863
A 17.5 lb turkey would then cost:
= 17.5 × 0.8863
= $15.5
B. A stuffing recipe takes 40 min to bake. A sweet potato pie recipe takes twice as long as the stuffing recipe. If a sweet potato pie goes in the oven at 11:50 am, what time will the sweet potato pie be done baking?
Since the sweet potato pie recipe takes twice as long as the stuffing recipe. This means it'll take:
= 2 × 40minutes
= 80 minutes
= 1 hour 20 minutes
When the sweet potato pie goes in the oven at 11:50 am, the time that it will take the sweet potato pie to be done baking will then be:
= 11.50 am + 1 hour 20 minutes
= 01:10 pm
