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.
