Final answer:
Rory can make 23 1/8-pound meatballs with the remaining turkey.Since Rory wants to make 1/8-pound meatballs, we can divide the remaining turkey by the weight of each meatball: 23/8 pounds ÷ 1/8 pound/meatball = 23/1 = 23 meatballs.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many 1/8-pound meatballs Rory can make with the remaining turkey, we need to calculate how much turkey he used to make the first 5 meatballs. We know that Rory used 5/8 pound per meatball, so to find the total amount used, we can multiply that by the number of meatballs: 5/8 pound/meatball * 5 meatballs = 25/8 pounds. Now, we can subtract this amount from the initial 4 pounds of turkey: 4 pounds - 25/8 pounds = 23/8 pounds. Since Rory wants to make 1/8-pound meatballs, we can divide the remaining turkey by the weight of each meatball: 23/8 pounds ÷ 1/8 pound/meatball = 23/1 = 23 meatballs.
