This is a faulty problem.
First, I've never seen a 40-lb. turkey.
Second, it takes several hours to cook a 20-lb. turkey.
Third, an 8-lb turkey would take much longer than 15 minutes!
this problem was written by someone who cooks their thanksgiving dinner in the microwave.
its a question in a math book. i tried to figure out the answer and got 15 minutes. hope its right ?
Using the math the book's author expects, you're right. But I wouldn't have the nerve to turn in such a ridiculous answer.
40lbs=120mins;...8lbs=120mins/5=24mins....it takes 24mins to cook 8lbs of turkey.
