Jacob is having Thanksgiving dinner at his house this year. His grandparents on both sides of his family will be there. There will also be four aunts and four uncles in attendance, along with 9 cousins. His own family consists of his mom and dad and himself. (a) How many places at the table will there have to be for everyone to eat dinner? (b) Jacob's mom read that she should cook 6 ounces of turkey per guest. If she does this, how many ounces of turkey will she have to bake? (c) If there are 16 ounces in a pound, approximately how many pounds will the turkey have to weigh?
