Answer:
0.033 pounds/min
Step-by-step explanation:
For Meagen:
Time taken to cook golden turkey = 56 minutes
Weight of golden turkey = 12 pounds
For her competitor:
Time taken to cook golden turkey = 1 hour 16 minutes = 77 minutes
Weight of golden turkey = 304 ounces
16 ounces = 1 pound
Therefore, 304 ounces = [tex]\frac{304}{16}[/tex] = 19 pounds
Now, let us find the number of pounds cooked per minute by each chef.
Pounds cooked per minute by Meagen = [tex]\frac{12}{56} = 0.214\ pounds/min[/tex]
Pounds cooked per minute by the competitor = [tex]\frac{19}{77} = 0.247\ pounds/min[/tex]
Difference = 0.247 - 0.214 = 0.033 pounds/min
