Roger wants to know if he purchased more turkey or more cheese used conversion ratio 1 kg equals 2.2 pounds to determine the correct answer show your work

Answer 1

To compare the amount of turkey and cheese, we need to convert both quantities to the same unit. Since the conversion ratio is 1 kg = 2.2 pounds, we can use it to convert the weight of turkey to pounds.

Converting 1.5 kg of turkey to pounds:
1.5 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 3.3 pounds

Now we can compare the weight of turkey (3.3 pounds) with the weight of cheese (2.25 pounds).

Since 3.3 pounds is greater than 2.25 pounds, Roger purchased more turkey than cheese.
