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.

Answer 1

To compare the weights of turkey and cheese, we need to convert the weight of turkey from kilograms to pounds using the conversion ratio: 1 kilogram = about 2.2 pounds.

1.5 kilograms of turkey * 2.2 pounds/kilogram = 3.3 pounds of turkey.

Therefore, Roger purchased more turkey (3.3 pounds) than cheese (2.25 pounds).

To find the possible weight of the chicken, we know that it needs to weigh more than the beef (1.25 kilograms) and less than the turkey (1.5 kilograms).

1.25 kilograms of beef * 2.2 pounds/kilogram = 2.75 pounds.

1.5 kilograms of turkey * 2.2 pounds/kilogram = 3.3 pounds.

So, the chicken could weigh between 2.75 pounds and 3.3 pounds. Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a pound, the possible weight of the chicken is between 2.75 pounds and 3.30 pounds.
