Question

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

pound did it take to cook the turkey? Express your answer as a unit rate​

Answer 1

20 minutes per pound

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(1)/(5)\ lb=(16*5+1)/(5)=(81)/(5)\ lb`

`5(2)/(5)\ lb=(5*5+2)/(5)=(27)/(5)\ h`

Convert hours to minutes

`1\ h=60\ min`

so

`(27)/(5)\ h=(27)/(5)(60)=324\ min`

Find the unit rate

`(324)/((81)/(5))=(1,620)/(81)=20\ (min)/(lb)`

therefore

20 minutes per pound
