Answer:

[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] pound of turkey you purchase for 10 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity 1 such as 3 meter per second or 4 miles per hour.

As per the statement:

If you can buy 1⁄3 of a pound of turkey for 4 dollars

by definition of unit rate we have;

[tex]\text{Unit rate per dollars} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} }{4} = \frac{1}{12}[/tex] pound of turkey.

We have to find how much can you purchase for 10 dollars.

[tex]\text{Weight of turkey for 10 dollars} = \text{Unit rate per dollars} \times 10[/tex]

⇒[tex]\text{Weight of turkey for 10 dollars}=\frac{1}{12} \times 10 = \frac{5}{6}[/tex] pound

Therefore, [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] pound of turkey you purchase for 10 dollars
