Now that we know the acceptable internal tempera-
ture for turkey (use answers in #5), we need to de-
termine the cook time for the turkey. Your turkey
has officially thawed and will go in the oven at a tem-
perature of 40°F. If the temperature of your turkey
increases at an average rate of 32°F per hour, what
is the minimum and maximum time your turkey can
spend in the oven to be in the acceptable tempera-
ture range?
Write your answers with EXACT decimals.
Use the inequality setup below to help you get
started.
*** Note: Meat does not cook at 32 degrees
Fahrenheit per hour! ***
