Answer:
[tex]7 \frac{7}{8}\ oz[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The original recipe has
2 1/2 pounds turkey
Convert to an improper fraction
[tex]2\frac{1}{2}\ lb=\frac{5}{2}\ lb[/tex]
Cherries, equal to 1⁄4 of the amount of turkey
so
Multiply the pounds of turkey by 1/4
[tex]Cherries=(\frac{1}{4})\frac{5}{2}=\frac{5}{8}\ lb[/tex]
Chocolate drops, equal to 0.35 of the amount of cherries
so
Multiply the pounds of cherries by 0.35
[tex]Chocolate\ drops=0.35(\frac{5}{8})=0.21875\ lb[/tex]
Remember that
[tex]1\ lb=16\ oz[/tex]
Convert to ounces
[tex]0.21875\ lb=0.21875(16)=3.5\ oz\\225\%=225/100=2.25[/tex]
Multiply the ounces of Chocolate drops of the original recipe by 2.25
[tex]2.25(3.5)=7.875\ oz[/tex]
Convert to mixed number
[tex]7.875\ oz=7+0.875=7+\frac{875}{1,000}=7 \frac{7}{8}\ oz[/tex]
