Roger wants to make sandwiches for his guest he buys the following sandwich fillings
1.5 kg turkey
1.25 kg of beef
2.25 pounds of cheese
Roger wants to know if he purchased more turkey or more cheese used conversion ratio 1 kg equals 2.2 pounds to determine the correct answer show your work . Roger discovers that he needs to buy some chicken as well. He buys an amount of chicken that weighs more than the beef he bought and less than the turkey he bought give an amount of pounds at the chicken could we round it to the nearest hundredth of a pound. After that Roger is curious to know the total weight of all four sandwich fillings he bought. He weighs it twice once using ounces and was using grams of 16 ounces equals 1 pound and 1000 g equals 1 kg will the total weight of the sandwich fillings be a greater number of ounces greater number of kilograms explain your answer
To determine whether Roger purchased more turkey or more cheese, we need to convert both quantities to the same unit of measurement. Since the conversion ratio given is 1 kg equals 2.2 pounds, we will convert both the turkey and cheese to pounds.
Turkey:
1.5 kg turkey * 2.2 pounds/kg = 3.3 pounds of turkey
Cheese:
2.25 pounds of cheese
Comparing the quantities, we can see that Roger purchased more turkey (3.3 pounds) than cheese (2.25 pounds).
Next, let's find an amount of chicken that weighs more than the beef but less than the turkey. As we don't have specific values for the beef or turkey weights, we can simply say that the weight of chicken falls between them.
Therefore, the weight of chicken should be greater than 1.25 kg of beef and less than 1.5 kg of turkey. Since 1 kg equals 2.2 pounds (from the given conversion ratio), the weight of chicken in pounds would be between:
1.25 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 2.75 pounds (beef weight)
and
1.5 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 3.3 pounds (turkey weight)
In rounded form, the weight of chicken would be between 2.75 pounds and 3.3 pounds.
Lastly, let's determine the total weight of all four sandwich fillings in ounces and kilograms.
To convert from pounds to ounces, we know that 16 ounces equals 1 pound. So, we multiply the total weight in pounds by 16 to get the weight in ounces.
To convert from pounds to kilograms, we know that 1 pound equals 0.4536 kg. So, we divide the total weight in pounds by 0.4536 to get the weight in kilograms.
Based on the information given, we don't have the specific weights for each filling, so we can't determine whether the total weight will be greater in ounces or kilograms.
To determine if Roger purchased more turkey or more cheese, we need to convert the weights to the same unit. We are given that 1 kg is equal to 2.2 pounds.
Turkey: 1.5 kg = 1.5 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 3.3 pounds
Cheese: 2.25 pounds
Since 3.3 pounds is greater than 2.25 pounds, Roger purchased more turkey than cheese.
To find the weight of the chicken, it is given that it weighs more than the beef (1.25 kg). Let's assume the weight of the chicken is x pounds.
Beef: 1.25 kg = 1.25 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 2.75 pounds
Chicken: x pounds
Therefore, 2.75 pounds < x pounds < 3.3 pounds.
To find the total weight of all four sandwich fillings, we need to convert the weights to the same unit. We are given that 16 ounces is equal to 1 pound and 1000 g is equal to 1 kg.
Turkey: 3.3 pounds = 3.3 pounds * (1 pound/16 ounces) = 52.8 ounces
Beef: 2.75 pounds = 2.75 pounds * (1 pound/16 ounces) = 44 ounces
Cheese: 2.25 pounds = 2.25 pounds * (1 pound/16 ounces) = 36 ounces
Chicken: x pounds = x pounds * (1 pound/16 ounces) = x/16 ounces
The total weight of all four sandwich fillings in ounces would be: 52.8 ounces + 44 ounces + 36 ounces + (x/16) ounces.
To find the weight in kilograms,
Turkey: 1.5 kg
Beef: 1.25 kg
Cheese: 2.25 pounds = 2.25 pounds * (1 kg/2.2 pounds) = 1.02 kg
Chicken: x pounds = x pounds * (1 kg/2.2 pounds) = x/2.2 kg
The total weight of all four sandwich fillings in kilograms would be: 1.5 kg + 1.25 kg + 1.02 kg + (x/2.2) kg.
Comparing the total weight in ounces and kilograms, we can see that the total weight in ounces will be greater. This is because there are more ounces in 1 pound than there are grams in 1 kg. Consequently, the sum of the weights in ounces will be a bigger number than the sum of the weights in kilograms.
To determine if Roger purchased more turkey or more cheese, we'll convert the weights to the same unit. Given that 1 kg equals 2.2 pounds:
Turkey weight in pounds: 1.5 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 3.3 pounds
Cheese weight in pounds: 2.25 pounds
Therefore, Roger purchased more turkey (3.3 pounds) compared to cheese (2.25 pounds).
To find the weight of chicken that Roger bought, we know that it is more than the beef (1.25 kg) and less than the turkey (1.5 kg). Given that 1 kg equals 2.2 pounds, we can convert this to pounds:
Beef weight in pounds: 1.25 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 2.75 pounds
Therefore, the weight of chicken falls between 2.75 pounds and 3.3 pounds. Rounding it to the nearest hundredth of a pound, we can say that Roger bought approximately 3 pounds of chicken.
To find the total weight of all four sandwich fillings, we'll convert each weight to the desired unit, first using ounces:
Turkey weight in ounces: 3.3 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 52.8 ounces
Beef weight in ounces: 2.75 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 44 ounces
Cheese weight in ounces: 2.25 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 36 ounces
Chicken weight in ounces: 3 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 48 ounces
Total weight in ounces: 52.8 ounces + 44 ounces + 36 ounces + 48 ounces = 180.8 ounces
Next, we'll convert each weight to grams:
Turkey weight in grams: 1.5 kg * 1000 g/kg = 1500 grams
Beef weight in grams: 1.25 kg * 1000 g/kg = 1250 grams
Cheese weight in grams: 2.25 pounds * 16 ounces/pound * 28.35 grams/ounce = 1275.75 grams
Chicken weight in grams: 3 pounds * 16 ounces/pound * 28.35 grams/ounce = 1360.8 grams
Total weight in grams: 1500 grams + 1250 grams + 1275.75 grams + 1360.8 grams = 5386.55 grams
Comparing the total weight in ounces (180.8 ounces) to the total weight in kilograms (5.38655 kg), we can conclude that the weight will be greater when measured in kilograms. This is because 1 kilogram is equal to approximately 35.274 ounces, so a given weight will appear larger when measured in kilograms compared to ounces.
