What is the weight of one chicken wing obtained from a 3.5 pound whole bird?

Question

The yield percent for chicken wings is 9.3 percent. What is the weight of one chicken wing obtained from a 3.5 pound whole bird?

Answer 1

This is my stab at Food Math.

 

If 9.3% of the 3.5 lb. bird, 3.5 x  .093 = weight of two wings.  Now divide by 2 to get weight for one wing = .16275 lbs.  Do you need to convert to ounces since the number is so small??? 

 

Does that look reasonable?? 

 

Good luck.
