Answer:

Explanation:

Since the bag of rice is 4.5 pounds, and there are 16 ounces per pound, multiply 16 x 4 = 64. Now what is half of 16? 8! So divide 5/8 = 0.625.

So in the end, yes the bag of rice will have enough rice. Here's my math:

16 x 4 = 64

5 / 8 = 0.625

So, you will have 64.625 ounces of rice which is plenty for your recipe!
