1. Let $x$ be the US total turkey production in pounds.
2. Set up the equation

935,000,000 = 0.122x

.
3. Solve for $x$:

x = \frac{935,000,000}{0.122}

.
4. Calculate:

x \approx 7,663,934,426.23

.
5. Round to the nearest billion pounds:

8 \text{ billion pounds}

. So, the answer is $8 \text{ billion pounds}$.
