I did (450*3/4=337.5) to get how much each person would eat, then I did (337.5*14=4725g) to see how big the turkey should be. I then converted grams to kilos (4725*0.001=4.725 kg), and I got how big the turkey would be. It turns out the appropriate size of the turkey would be medium, so then what I did was that I looked for the medium price of the turkey per kg, and found that it was £5.99 per kg. I did (4.725*5.99) and I got about £28.30. It would cost £28.30 for 14 people.

These problem can be solved using conversion fractions. A conversion fraction is a unitary fraction that we use to convert units; the idea is multiply the unit we want to convert by a fraction with the same unit as denominator and the target unit as numerator.

First, we are going to find how many grams are \frac{3}{4} lb. Since we know that 1lb = 450g, we just need to multiply \frac{3}{4}lb by the conversion fraction \frac{450g}{1lb}:

Grams per person = (\frac{3}{4}lb)(\frac{450g}{1lb}  )=(0.75lb)(\frac{450g}{1lb}  )=337.5g

Next, we are going to find the total amount of grams Adam will need. Since there are 14 persons, we just need to multiply the grams per person by 14:

Total grams = 14(337.5g)=4725g

Since the cost of the turkey is expressed in kilograms, we need to convert the total grams to kilograms. We know that 1 kg = 1000 g, so we need to multiply the total grams by the conversion factor \frac{1kg}{1000g}:

Total kg = (4725g)(\frac{1kg}{1000g} )=4.725kg

Now we know know that Adam will need to buy 4.725 kg of medium size turkey, so the only thing left is multiply the price of the medium size turkey by the total kg:

Total cost = (4.725kg)(\frac{5.99}{kg} )=28.30

We can conclude that a turkey for 14 people will cost £28.30.

Answer: the depth of the trench is 3685 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The hole is approximately 347 yards wide. This means that the diameter of the hole is 347 yards.

The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

Volume = πr²h

Where

r represents the radius of the cylinder or hole.

h represents the height or depth of the cylinder or hole.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

Volume = 348289500 ft³

Radius = diameter/2 = 347/2 = 173.5 ft

Therefore,

348289500 = 3.14 × 173.5² × h

348289500 = 94521.065h

h = 348289500/94521.065

h = 3685 feet
