48
47
45
46

21
20
18
19
Let x be the number of turkeys per team. Each team's points is 2x, and for 5 teams the total is 5(2x) = 10x. Setting 10x = 200 gives x = 20 turkeys per team.
A turkey-shaped platter is divided into 8 equal sections. If 5 sections are decorated with corn and the rest with pumpkin, what fraction of the platter is decorated with pumpkin?
1/2
3/8
5/8

3/2
1/2
2/3
1
Since 2 turkeys equal the weight of 3 chickens, one turkey weighs 1.5 times as much as one chicken; hence, the ratio of one chicken's weight to one turkey's weight is 1:1.5, which simplifies to 2/3.
A turkey's age is given as the sum of two distinct prime numbers, one of which is 2. If the turkey's age is 9, what is the other prime number?
