Answer 1

Question

If a 6 lb turkey takes 120 minutes to cook, how long would a 9 lb. Turkey take to cook?

Solution

time taken by 6 lb. Turkey to cook = 120 minutes

time taken by 1 lb. Turkey to cook = (120/6 = 20) minutes

time taken by 9 lb. Turkey to cook = ( 20×9= 180 ) minutes

Answer 2

180 minutes to cook 9lb turkey.

Explanation:

Let the time taken to cook a 9lb turkey be x.

Using proportions,

6/120 = 9/x

6x = 120 x 9

6x = 1080

x = 1080/6

x = 180
