To solve the first part of the question (3a), we need to compare the amount of turkey and cheese that Roger purchased, using the conversion ratio of 1 kilogram = about 2.2 pounds.
-
Turkey:
- Roger purchased 1.5 kilograms of turkey.
- To convert kilograms to pounds: \[ 1.5 \text{ kg} \times 2.2 \text{ lbs/kg} = 3.3 \text{ lbs of turkey} \]
-
Cheese:
- Roger purchased 2.25 pounds of cheese.
Now, we compare the two amounts:
- Turkey: 3.3 pounds
- Cheese: 2.25 pounds
Since 3.3 pounds (turkey) is greater than 2.25 pounds (cheese), we conclude that he purchased more turkey.
Response for 3a:
He purchased more turkey.
Now, for part 3b, we need to determine the possible weight of chicken Roger could have bought. The chicken must weigh more than the beef and less than the turkey.
-
Beef:
- Roger purchased 1.25 kilograms of beef.
- Convert beef to pounds: \[ 1.25 \text{ kg} \times 2.2 \text{ lbs/kg} = 2.75 \text{ lbs of beef} \]
-
Turkey:
- As calculated previously, Roger has 3.3 pounds of turkey.
Now we establish the range for the chicken:
- The chicken must weigh more than 2.75 pounds (beef)
- The chicken must weigh less than 3.3 pounds (turkey)
The only option that fits this range (more than 2.75 pounds and less than 3.3 pounds) from the given choices is 3.2 pounds of chicken.
Response for 3b:
3.2 pounds of chicken.
