Question

Alice wants to buy 3 pounds of veal at the grocery store, but the scales at the store only show weight in kilograms. If one kilogram is 2.20 pounds, how many kilograms of veal should Alice buy?

Answer 1

Alice should buy 1.36 kilograms of veal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

According to store's scale;

2.20 pounds = 1 kilogram

1 pound = $\frac{1}{2.20}\ kg$

As Alice wants to buy 3 pounds, therefore,

3 pounds = $\frac{1}{2.20}*3$

$3\ pounds = \frac{3}{2.20}\\3\ pounds = 1.36\ kg$

Alice should buy 1.36 kilograms of veal.
