A. 1.14 pounds
B. 2.24 pounds
C. 1.74 pounds
D. 2.24 pounds

Answer 1

To find the weight of the chicken, we need to determine the range between the beef and turkey weights. The chicken weight could be any number between the beef and turkey weights, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the weight of the chicken, we need to determine the range between the beef and turkey weights. Let's say the beef weighs x pounds and the turkey weighs y pounds:

x < chicken weight < y

Since the chicken weight is between the beef and turkey weights, we can express this as an inequality:

x < chicken weight < y

Therefore, the weight of the chicken could be any number between x and y, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a pound.
