Answer 1

To determine whether Roger purchased more turkey or cheese, we need to convert the weight of the turkey from kilograms to pounds so that we can compare it directly with the weight of the cheese, which is given in pounds.

Step 1: Convert the turkey weight from kilograms to pounds.

Roger bought 1.5 kilograms of turkey. We can use the conversion ratio:

1 kilogram ≈ 2.2 pounds

So, to convert 1.5 kilograms to pounds:

\[ 1.5 \text{ kg} \times 2.2 \text{ lbs/kg} = 3.3 \text{ lbs} \]

Step 2: Compare the weights.

• Turkey: 3.3 pounds
• Cheese: 2.25 pounds

Step 3: Determine which is greater.

Now we compare the two values:

• Turkey (3.3 lbs) vs. Cheese (2.25 lbs)

Conclusion:

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