The total weight, in pounds, of rice purchased by Marcus in the two-day period is [tex]6\frac{5}{6}[/tex] pounds.

It is given that,

Amount of rice purchased on Monday = [tex]4\frac{1}{2} pounds[/tex]

Amount of rice purchased on Tuesday[tex]=2\frac{1}{3} pounds[/tex]

the total weight, in pounds, of rice purchased by Marcus in the two-day period is computed as;

[tex]=4\frac{1}{2}+2\frac{1}{3} \\\\=\frac{9}{2} +\frac{7}{3} \\\\=\frac{27+14}{6} \\\\=\frac{41}{6}\\ \\=6\frac{5}{6} pounds[/tex]

Therefore, the total weight of rice is [tex]6\frac{5}{6}[/tex] pounds.
