Rice weighing 33/4 pounds was divided equally and placed in 4 containers. How many ounces of rice were in each?
Choose the correct choice from the following choices.
A) 18 ounces  B) 15 ounces  C) 19 ounces  D) 17 ounces  E) 14 ounces
33/4 ÷ 4 pounds.   = (4 × 3 + 3)/4 ÷ 4 pounds.   = 15/4 ÷ 4 pounds.   = 15/4 × 1/4 pounds.   = 15/16 pounds.   Now we know that, 1 pound = 16 ounces.   Therefore, 15/16 pounds = 15/16 × 16 ounces.   = 15 ounces.   Answer: (15 ounces)15 ounces.
