Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the number in each category

To solve this, we simply multiply each fraction by the total number of turkey:

[tex]Sleeping = \frac{1}{4} * 40[/tex]

[tex]Sleeping = \frac{40}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Sleeping = 10[/tex]

[tex]Eating = \frac{1}{8} * 40[/tex]

[tex]Eating = \frac{40}{8}[/tex]

[tex]Eating = 5[/tex]

[tex]Hiding = \frac{5}{8} * 40[/tex]

[tex]Hiding = \frac{200}{8}[/tex]

[tex]Hiding =25[/tex]
