Weight of rice = 1kg
Weight of rice + Unknown weight = 1.5 kg
So , Unknown weight = 1.5 kg - 1kg
Unknown weight = 0.5 kg
We know,
1 kg = 1000 grams
0.5 kg = 500 grams
Hence unknown weight = 500grams

Answer:
500grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown weight in the shop=x
Weight of rice= 1 kg
Combined weight of rice and unknown weight= 1 kg+ x
1kg+x= 1.5 kg
x=1.5kg - 1kg
x=0.5 kg
In 1 kg = 1000 grams
In 0.5 kg= 500grams
