A 24-1b turkey costs $21.36. Assuming the costs are proportional, how much would a 17.5 lb turkey cost? A stuffing recipe takes 40 min to bake. A sweet potato pie recipe takes twice as long as the stuffing recipe. If a sweet potato pie goes in the oven at 11:50 am, what time will the sweet potato pie be done baking?

A. $15.5

B. 1:10 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

A. We will use the formula,

y = kx

where,

y = cost of turkey = $21.36

x = weight of turkey = 24.1lb

k = constant of proportionality

Therefore,

21.36 = 24.1k

k = 21.36/24.1

k = 0.8863

A 17.5 lb turkey would then cost:

= 17.5 × 0.8863

= $15.5

B. A stuffing recipe takes 40 min to bake. A sweet potato pie recipe takes twice as long as the stuffing recipe. If a sweet potato pie goes in the oven at 11:50 am, what time will the sweet potato pie be done baking?

Since the sweet potato pie recipe takes twice as long as the stuffing recipe. This means it'll take:

= 2 × 40minutes

= 80 minutes

= 1 hour 20 minutes

When the sweet potato pie goes in the oven at 11:50 am, the time that it will take the sweet potato pie to be done baking will then be:

= 11.50 am + 1 hour 20 minutes

= 01:10 pm

a is the correct
