Explanation:

Weight of the bag of rice, W = 3.18 pounds

We need to convert 3.18 pounds to kilogram. Firstly, we will see the relationship between the pounds and kilogram. It is given by :

1 pound = 0.453 kilogram

By using unitary method, we can convert pounds to kilograms. So, 3.18 pounds equals :


3.18\ pounds = 3.18* 0.453\ kg


3.18\ pounds = 1.44\ kg

So, the weight of the bag of rice is 1.44 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
