Verified Answer :

Given:
7 kg turkey

cooking instructions:
over 4kg allow 20 minutes per kg, plus 90 minutes
always leave the turkey to rest for 30 minutes before carving.

7kg 20 minutes/kg = 140 minutes

140 minutes + 90 minutes = 230 minutes
230 minutes + 30 minutes rest = 260 minutes

260 minutes
1hr/60 minutes = 4 hours 20 minutes

17:15 is 5:15 pm

17:15 - 4:20 = 12:55 pm

Adam should start cooking at 12:55 pm
