Data

12 oz / 4 days

1.- Let's calculate the number of candy eaten per day

12 oz ---------------------- 4 days

x ---------------------- 1 day

x = (1 x 12) / 4

x = 12/4

x = 3 oz/day

2.- Convert ounces to pounds

1 pounds ---------------- 16 oz

x --------------- 3 oz

x = (3 x 1) / 16

x = 0.18 pounds per day

3.- Result Cindy eats 0.18 pounds per day
