(You forgot to add the question, but I guess you want to know the mass of the turkey for 14 people :p )
By hypothesis, 1 lb = 450g. Adam wants that each of the 14 person, get 3/4 lb. Let x be the mass of 3/4 lb in grams, using the rule of three:

1 lb --> 450g
3/4 lb --> x

x = 3/4 * 450 = 337.5
So 3/4 lb = 337.5 g

Adam wants to cook for 14 people and wants to allow 3/4 lb of turkey for each person, so 337.5 for each.
So to know the total mass of the turkey, you multiply the mass for one person by the total  number of people:
337.5 * 14 = 4725
So the mass of the turkey for 14 people is 4725g, or 10.5 lb (3/4 * 14)

Hope this Helps! :)

3/4 = .75

.75 x 14 = 10.5 = 10 1/2

convert to grams = 10.5 * 450 = 4,725 grams

so he needs to cook a 10 1/2 lbs or  4,725 grams turkey for 14 people to allow 3/4 lbs each person.

One pound of swordfish costs as much as 1.5 pounds of salmon. Mrs. O pays $39 for 2 pounds of salmon and 3 pounds of swordfish.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon is 6:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The price for 1 pound of swordfish = The price of 1.5 pound of salmon

So, On this relation

The price for ( 1 × 2 ) pound of swordfish = The price of ( 1.5× 2 )  pound of salmon

i.e The price for 2 pound of swordfish = The price of 3 pound of salmon

Now According to question

Mrs. O pay the total money for 2 pounds of swordfish and 3 pound of salmon = $ 39

Let the money she pay for swordfish = 2 sw

And The money she pay for salmon = 3 sa

∵, The total money she pay for both  = $ 39

I.e  2 sw + 3 sa = 39

As 2 sw = 3 sa

So, 3 sa + 3 sa = 39

Or, 6 sa = 39

or, sa = \frac{39}{6} = \frac{13}{2}

∴ sw = \frac{13}{2} × \frac{3}{2}

or, sw = \frac{39}{4}

Now, the ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon = \frac{\frac{39}{4}}{\frac{13}{2}}

I.e The ratio = \frac{6}{4}

Hence The ratio of the amount for swordfish to the amount of salmon is 6:4
