Answer:

15 oz.

Explanation:

Rounding to the nearest ounce:

14.853

Rounding notes:

If the number one place to the right of the rounding number is greater than 5, the number increases by 1.

If the number one place to the right of the rounding number is less than 5, the number stays the same and anything to the right of the rounding number changes to 0.

Work:

4 represents the 'ounces' place value.

To identify the rounding of 4, we need to determine if the value 8 is greater than 5, or less than 5.

8 > 5, meaning 4 increases to 5.

New rounded number = 15 oz.
