To compare the amount of turkey and cheese, we need to convert both quantities to the same unit. Since the conversion ratio is 1 kg = 2.2 pounds, we can use it to convert the weight of turkey to pounds.
Converting 1.5 kg of turkey to pounds:
1.5 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 3.3 pounds
Now we can compare the weight of turkey (3.3 pounds) with the weight of cheese (2.25 pounds).
Since 3.3 pounds is greater than 2.25 pounds, Roger purchased more turkey than cheese.
To determine whether Roger purchased more turkey or more cheese, we can convert the weight of each item to a common unit. Given that 1 kg is equal to 2.2 pounds, we can convert the weights as follows:
Weight of Turkey in pounds = 1.5 kg × 2.2 pounds/kg = 3.3 pounds
Weight of Cheese in pounds = 2.25 pounds
Now, we can compare the weights:
Turkey: 3.3 pounds
Cheese: 2.25 pounds
Comparing the weights, we find that Roger purchased more turkey (3.3 pounds) than cheese (2.25 pounds).
To determine if Roger purchased more turkey or more cheese, we need to convert the weights of both items to the same unit of measure, either kilograms or pounds.
Given conversion ratio:
1 kg = 2.2 pounds
Step 1: Convert 1.5 kg of turkey to pounds
1.5 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 3.3 pounds of turkey
Step 2: Compare 3.3 pounds of turkey to 2.25 pounds of cheese
Since 3.3 pounds of turkey is greater than 2.25 pounds of cheese, Roger purchased more turkey than cheese.
