Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since 1 kg equals 2.20 pounds, then 3 kg is approximately 6.6 pounds.

And since 1 pound equals 453.6 grams, then:

6.6 pounds x 453.6 grams/pound = 2991.36 grams

Therefore, the Frenchman should ask for approximately 3 kg of potatoes and 6.6 pounds (or 2991.36 grams) of cheese.

Option C is the only one that's close to 6.6 pounds. Option A is too small, option B is too large, and option D is also too small.
