Answer: 40 people

Step-by-step explanation: 1 person will eat 1/4 of a pound, which means that 4 people will eat 1 pound of turkey because 1/4 x 4 = 1.

If 4 people will eat 1 pound of turkey, that means we can multiply 4 x 10 and 1 x 10 to find the amount of people that will eat 10 pounds of turkey for dinner.

4 x 10 = 40 people and 1 x 10 = 10 pounds of turkey.

So, 40 people will eat a 10-pound turkey for dinner to finish it.
