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 of pounds at the chicken could we round it to the nearest hundredth of a pound.

Answer 1

To determine if Roger purchased more turkey or more cheese, we need to compare the weights in pounds.

First, let's convert the weights of turkey and cheese from kg to pounds using the conversion ratio 1 kg equals 2.2 pounds:

1.5 kg turkey = 1.5 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 3.3 pounds
2.25 pounds of cheese = 2.25 pounds

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

Next, let's find the range of pounds for the chicken that Roger bought. It weighs more than the beef (1.25 kg) and less than the turkey (1.5 kg).

1.25 kg beef = 1.25 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 2.75 pounds
1.5 kg turkey = 1.5 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 3.3 pounds

Therefore, the weight of the chicken falls between 2.75 pounds and 3.3 pounds. Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a pound, the weight of the chicken could be 2.75 pounds to 3.30 pounds.
