Question 914790
16 ounces = 1 pound


60 minutes = 1 hour


-------------------------------------------------------


I'm going to convert Matt's rate to pounds per hour


(5 oz/min)*(1 lb/16 oz) = 5/16 = 0.3125 lbs per min


(0.3125 lb/1 min)*(60 min/1 hr) = 0.3125*60 = 18.75 pounds per hour


-------------------------------------------------------


Tim's Rate: 6 pounds per hour


Matt's Rate: 18.75 pounds per hour


If they have the same sized bird, both weighing the same, then Matt's turkey will be done faster.



Let me know if you need more help or if you need me to explain a step in more detail.
