In this question, let us first note down all the important information's that have been provided in the question.
The number of people that Adam is cooking for = 14
Amount of turkey required per person = 3/4 pounds
Now
Total amount of turkey required by Adam to cook for 14 people = (3/4) * 14
= 21/2
So 21/2 pound of turkey is required by Adam to cook for 14 people. This weight of turkey has to be converted to gram first and then to kilogram.
We already know
1 lb = 450 g
Then
21/2 lb = 450 * (21/2) gram
= 225 * 21
= 4721 gram
Now again we know
1000 g = 1 kg
4721 gm = (4721/1000) kg
= 4.721 kg
So Adam needs to have a turkey weighing 4.721 gram to cook for the 14 people. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
Is this some sort of cryptic message?
