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.
To compare the quantities of turkey and cheese, we need to convert the weights to the same unit. We will convert turkey to pounds and cheese to kilograms.
1.5 kilograms of turkey is approximately 1.5 * 2.2 = 3.3 pounds.
2.25 pounds of cheese is approximately 2.25 / 2.2 = 1.0227 kilograms.
Since 3.3 pounds of turkey is more than 1.0227 kilograms of cheese, Roger purchased more turkey than cheese.
