Q. \newlineDavid is making rice for his guests based on a recipe that requires rice, water, and a special blend of spice, where the rice-to-spice ratio is 15:1 15: 1 . He currently has 4040 grams of the spice blend, and he can go buy more if necessary. He wants to make 1010 servings, where each serving has 7575 grams of rice. Overall, David spends 44.5050 dollars on rice.\newlineWhat is the price of rice per gram?\newline________dollars per gram of rice
  1. Calculate Rice Amount: Calculate the total amount of rice needed for 1010 servings, where each serving is 7575 grams.\newline7575 grams/serving ×10\times 10 servings = 750750 grams of rice needed.
  2. Determine Total Cost: Determine the total cost of 750750 grams of rice based on the given expenditure.\newlineDavid spends $4.50\$4.50 for 750750 grams of rice.
  3. Calculate Price per Gram: Calculate the price per gram of rice by dividing the total cost by the total amount of rice.\newline$4.50/750 grams=$0.006 per gram.\$4.50 / 750 \text{ grams} = \$0.006 \text{ per gram}.
