Rate of work
The rate at which Alana is checking the turkey can be described as the work rate or the rate at which she is doing work.
Number of times
The total number of times at which Alana will check the turkey before it is done is calculated as follows;
[tex]n = \frac{T}{R}[/tex]
where;
T is the total time = 4 1/2 h = (4 x 60) + 30 min = 270 min
R is the rate = 20 min
[tex]n = \frac{270}{20} \\\\n = 13.5 \ times\\\\n \approx 13 \ times[/tex]
There is no half checking, thus, the total number of times Alana will check the turkey before it sis done is 13 times.
