Answer: He bought 46.875 pounds of rice for the week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total rice he bought = (Number of dishes made in a week) x (portion of rice in each dish)

GIven: Each portion has 5 ounces of rice.

i.e. each portion has [tex]\dfrac{5}{16}[/tex] pounds of rice.    [ 1 pound = 16 ounces]

Total rice he bought ( in pounds)=[tex]150\times\dfrac{5}{16}[/tex]

[tex]=46.875\text{ pounds}[/tex]

Hence, he bought 46.875 pounds of rice for the week.
