To find the weight of the chicken, we need to compare it to the weights of the beef and the turkey that Roger bought.

Let's assume the beef weighs 4 pounds and the turkey weighs 10 pounds.

The chicken should weigh more than 4 pounds (beef) and less than 10 pounds (turkey).

So, the possible weight of the chicken would be between 4 and 10 pounds, inclusive.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a pound, the chicken could weigh anywhere between 4.00 and 10.00 pounds.
wait nvm, here: 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.

• 1.5 kilograms of turkey
• 1.25 kilograms of beef
• 2.25 pounds of cheese
To find the weight of the chicken, we need to convert the weights of the turkey and beef from kilograms to pounds.

1.5 kilograms of turkey is approximately 3.31 pounds (1 kilogram is about 2.2 pounds).

1.25 kilograms of beef is approximately 2.76 pounds.

Since the chicken needs to weigh more than the beef (2.76 pounds) and less than the turkey (3.31 pounds), the possible weight of the chicken would be between 2.76 and 3.31 pounds, inclusive.

Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a pound, the chicken could weigh anywhere between 2.76 and 3.31 pounds.
i need an EXACT amount in pounds
Apologies for the confusion. Let's convert the weights to pounds exactly:

1.5 kilograms of turkey is approximately 3.307 pounds.
1.25 kilograms of beef is approximately 2.756 pounds.

Since the chicken needs to weigh more than the beef (2.756 pounds) and less than the turkey (3.307 pounds), the possible weight of the chicken would be between 2.756 and 3.307 pounds, inclusive.

So, the exact amount in pounds that the chicken could weigh is between 2.756 and 3.307 pounds.
