1) A person would need approximately 51 years to eat 855 pounds of apples.

2) A person would need approximately 69 years to eat 1120 pounds of turkey.

3) 6 people in the United States will eat 1260 quarts in next 5 years.

4) The statement is a nonsense.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) According to the German page Statista, a person in the United States had a per capita consumption of 16.91 pounds of fresh apples in 2018/19. If we consider that a person consume at same rate, then the time taken is obtained by dividing total amount of fresh apples by per capita consumption rate:

$x = \frac{855\,pd}{16.91\,\frac{pd}{yr} }$

$x = 50.562\,years$

A person would need approximately 51 years to eat 855 pounds of apples.

2) According to the German page Statista, a person in the United States had a per capita consumption of 16.40 pounds of turkey in 2018/19. If we consider that a person consume at same rate, then the time taken is obtained by dividing total amount of turkey by per capita consumption rate:

$x = \frac{1120\,pd}{16.40\,\frac{pd}{yr} }$

$x = 68.293\,years$

A person would need approximately 69 years to eat 1120 pounds of turkey.

3) Accoring to the US page Aghires, a person in the United States had a per capita consumption of 42 quarts of pop corn in 2017/2018. The total consumption of the groups equals the product of number of people, time and per capita consumption. That is:

$x = 42\,\frac{qt}{yr}\times 6 \times 5\,yr$

$x = 1260\,quarts$

6 people in the United States will eat 1260 quarts in next 5 years.

4) According to the US newspaper The South Florida Reporter, a person in the United States had a per capita consumption of 53 pounds of bread in 2017/2018. Consumption during 80 years can be estimated by knowing the product of time and per capita consumption. That is:

$x = 80\,yr \times 53\,\frac{pd}{yr}$

$x = 4240\,pd$

Which is only equivalent to about 10 % of the alleged indicator and, consequently, the statement is a nonsense.
