The weight of the fish caught are

We are given that

But

$454g=0.454\operatorname{kg}$

Hence

$1\text{ lb}=0.454\operatorname{kg}$

Therefore

$\begin{gathered} 5.78\text{ lb}=5.78*0.454\operatorname{kg}=2.62412\operatorname{kg} \\ 10.5\text{ lb}=10.5*0.454\operatorname{kg}=4.767\operatorname{kg} \\ 8.63\text{ lb}=8.63*0.454\operatorname{kg}=3.91802\operatorname{kg} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the total weigh in kg will be

$2.62412kg+4.767\operatorname{kg}+3.91802\operatorname{kg}=11.30914\operatorname{kg}$

Therefore, the total weight of all fish that Rica caught, in kg is 11.30914kg
