The typical male turkey has a mass of 17.5 lbs whereas the typical female turkey has a mass of 8.0 lbs. How many ounces of insects would 7 gobblers consume daily to sustain themselves?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

It have been shown that domestic  turkeys require about 13.6 grams of food per pound of body weight each day to sustain weight. A gobbler is a male turkey.

The food consumed by a male turkey that is 17.5 lbs = 13.6 grams of food per pound * 17.5 pound = 238 grams.

7 gobblers = 7 male turkeys, hence:

The food consumed by 7 gobblers = 238 grams * 7 = 1666 grams
