Question

I know this is unit rate but I am not quite confident in my answer. Which is 18 minutes per pound. Which all I did was divide. I need to find out how many pounds she cooked that turkey. HELP? 7th grade math, ACC

Answer 1

The unit (minutes per pound) can be obtained by dividing the time by the weight.

 

So, 324 minutes ÷ 18 pounds = 18 minutes per pound.

 

Your answer was correct.
