Roger also wants to make sandwiches for his guests. He buys the following
sandwich fillings:
• 1.5 kilograms of turkey
• 1.25 kilograms of beef
• 2.25 pounds of cheese
Roger wants to know if he purchased more turkey or more cheese. Use the
conversion ratio 1 kilogram = about 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 in pounds that the chicken could weigh, rounded to the
nearest hundredth of a pound.
To determine if Roger purchased more turkey or more cheese, we need to convert the weights to the same unit of measurement. Roger purchased 1.5 kilograms of turkey, which is approximately 1.5 * 2.2 = <<1.5*2.2=3.3>>3.3 pounds of turkey.
Roger also purchased 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.
To determine if Roger purchased more turkey or more cheese, we need to compare the weights of both fillings in the same unit. As Roger provided the weights in kilograms for turkey and in pounds for cheese, we need to convert one of them to the other unit for an accurate comparison.
Given that 1 kilogram is approximately equal to 2.2 pounds, we can use this conversion ratio to convert the weight of turkey from kilograms to pounds.
Let's start by converting the weight of turkey from kilograms to pounds:
Weight of turkey (in pounds) = Weight of turkey (in kilograms) × Conversion ratio
Weight of turkey (in pounds) = 1.5 kilograms × 2.2 pounds/kilogram (conversion ratio)
Weight of turkey (in pounds) = 3.3 pounds
So, Roger purchased 3.3 pounds of turkey.
Next, we can directly compare the weights of turkey (3.3 pounds) and cheese (2.25 pounds).
Since 3.3 pounds is greater than 2.25 pounds, we can conclude that Roger purchased more turkey than cheese.
To compare the amounts of turkey and cheese, we need to convert the weights to the same unit. Given that 1 kilogram is approximately equal to 2.2 pounds, we can convert the weights as follows:
1.5 kilograms of turkey = 1.5 * 2.2 = 3.3 pounds of turkey
2.25 pounds of cheese is already in the correct unit.
Now we can compare the weights:
Turkey: 3.3 pounds
Cheese: 2.25 pounds
Based on the weights, Roger purchased more turkey (3.3 pounds) than cheese (2.25 pounds).

Apologies for the confusion caused. Let me clarify it further.
To compare the weights, we need to convert the weights of turkey and cheese to the same unit. Given that 1 kilogram is approximately equal to 2.2 pounds:
1.5 kilograms of turkey = 1.5 * 2.2 = 3.3 pounds of turkey
Now, comparing the weights:
Turkey: 3.3 pounds
Cheese: 2.25 pounds
Since 3.3 pounds is greater than 2.25 pounds, we can conclude that Roger purchased more turkey than cheese.
To find the weight of the chicken that Roger bought, we need to determine a weight that is greater than the weight of the beef (1.25 kilograms) and less than the weight of the turkey (1.5 kilograms).
Let's convert the weights to pounds for easier comparison:
Weight of beef = 1.25 kilograms * 2.2 pounds/kilogram = 2.75 pounds
Weight of turkey = 1.5 kilograms * 2.2 pounds/kilogram = 3.30 pounds
Therefore, the weight of the chicken needs to be greater than 2.75 pounds and less than 3.30 pounds.
One possible weight for the chicken that meets these conditions would be 3.00 pounds (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
Roger is curious to know the total weight of all four sandwich fillings he bought. He
weighs it twice, once using ounces and once using grams. If 16 ounces = 1 pound
and 1,000 grams = 1 kilogram, will the total weight of the sandwich fillings be a
greater number of ounces or a greater number of kilograms? Explain your answer
To determine if the total weight of the sandwich fillings is a greater number of ounces or kilograms, we need to convert the weights to both units of measurement.
Given that 16 ounces = 1 pound and 1,000 grams = 1 kilogram:
1. Convert the weights in pounds to ounces:
Weight of turkey: 3.3 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 52.8 ounces
Weight of beef: 2.75 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 44 ounces
Weight of cheese: 2.25 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 36 ounces
Weight of chicken (assumed to be 3 pounds): 3 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 48 ounces
Total weight in ounces: 52.8 + 44 + 36 + 48 = 180.8 ounces
2. Convert the weights in kilograms to grams:
Weight of turkey: 3.3 kilograms * 1000 grams/kilogram = 3300 grams
Weight of beef: 1.25 kilograms * 1000 grams/kilogram = 1250 grams
Weight of cheese: 2.25 pounds * 1000 grams/kilogram = 2250 grams
Weight of chicken (assumed to be 3 kilograms): 3 kilograms * 1000 grams/kilogram = 3000 grams
Total weight in grams: 3300 + 1250 + 2250 + 3000 = 9800 grams
Therefore, the total weight of the sandwich fillings will be a greater number of grams (kilograms) than ounces.
