We need to first convert 4 1/2 kilograms to grams, as the price is given for 500g:
4.5kg = 4500g
Now we can find the cost of 4500g of rice:
Cost of 500g of rice = £3
Cost of 1g of rice = £3/500
Cost of 4500g of rice = (Cost of 1g of rice) x 4500
Cost of 4500g of rice = (£3/500) x 4500
Cost of 4500g of rice = £27
Therefore, the cost of 4 1/2kg of rice is £27.
4.5kg = 4500g
Now we can find the cost of 4500g of rice:
Cost of 500g of rice = £3
Cost of 1g of rice = £3/500
Cost of 4500g of rice = (Cost of 1g of rice) x 4500
Cost of 4500g of rice = (£3/500) x 4500
Cost of 4500g of rice = £27
Therefore, the cost of 4 1/2kg of rice is £27.
