This task is about working out how long to cook turkeys of different sizes and completing a rule to describe this relationship.
Tanu’s Turkeys provides this chart showing how long to cook turkeys of different sizes. The larger the turkey, the longer it takes to cook.
| Size of turkey | No. 2 | No. 3 | No. 4 |
| Cooking time (in hours) | 1\(3 \over 4\) | 2\(1 \over 2\) | 3\(1 \over 4\) |
|
a) Tanu’s Turkeys raised some extra large turkeys. Show how long a No. 6 turkey should cook for.
|
|
|
b) If a turkey needs to be cooked for 8\(1 \over 2\) hours, show how to work out what size it would be.
|
|
|
c) Describe how to work out the cooking time for a turkey of any size.
|
|
|
d) If you know the size of a turkey (x), complete this equation so that it gives the cooking time (y) the turkey needs. y = ______________________________ |
