Roger wants to make sandwiches for his guest he buys the following sandwich fillings

1.5 kg turkey
1.25 kg of beef
2.25 pounds of cheese
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 . 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. After that Roger is curious to know the total weight of all four sandwich fillings he bought. He weighs it twice once using ounces and was using grams of 16 ounces equals 1 pound and 1000 g equals 1 kg will the total weight of the sandwich fillings be a greater number of ounces greater number of kilograms explain your answer

1 answer

To determine if Roger purchased more turkey or more cheese, we need to convert the weights to the same unit. We are given that 1 kg is equal to 2.2 pounds.

Turkey: 1.5 kg = 1.5 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 3.3 pounds
Cheese: 2.25 pounds

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

To find the weight of the chicken, it is given that it weighs more than the beef (1.25 kg). Let's assume the weight of the chicken is x pounds.

Beef: 1.25 kg = 1.25 kg * 2.2 pounds/kg = 2.75 pounds
Chicken: x pounds

Therefore, 2.75 pounds < x pounds < 3.3 pounds.

To find the total weight of all four sandwich fillings, we need to convert the weights to the same unit. We are given that 16 ounces is equal to 1 pound and 1000 g is equal to 1 kg.

Turkey: 3.3 pounds = 3.3 pounds * (1 pound/16 ounces) = 52.8 ounces
Beef: 2.75 pounds = 2.75 pounds * (1 pound/16 ounces) = 44 ounces
Cheese: 2.25 pounds = 2.25 pounds * (1 pound/16 ounces) = 36 ounces
Chicken: x pounds = x pounds * (1 pound/16 ounces) = x/16 ounces

The total weight of all four sandwich fillings in ounces would be: 52.8 ounces + 44 ounces + 36 ounces + (x/16) ounces.

To find the weight in kilograms,

Turkey: 1.5 kg
Beef: 1.25 kg
Cheese: 2.25 pounds = 2.25 pounds * (1 kg/2.2 pounds) = 1.02 kg
Chicken: x pounds = x pounds * (1 kg/2.2 pounds) = x/2.2 kg

The total weight of all four sandwich fillings in kilograms would be: 1.5 kg + 1.25 kg + 1.02 kg + (x/2.2) kg.

Comparing the total weight in ounces and kilograms, we can see that the total weight in ounces will be greater. This is because there are more ounces in 1 pound than there are grams in 1 kg. Consequently, the sum of the weights in ounces will be a bigger number than the sum of the weights in kilograms.
