The question gives us the amount of candy (252 pieces) and the number of ounces that the jar holds (14 ounces).

We can then find the pieces of candy per ounce by dividing the number of pieces by the amount of ounces that the jar holds:

[tex] \frac{252 pieces}{14 ounces} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{18pieces}{1ounce} [/tex]

Now we know that there are 18 pieces of candy per one ounce that the jar can hold.

For this problem I would take 252 (the number of pieces of candy) and divide it by 14 ( the number of ounces).

252 ÷ 14

Which equals 18 pieces of candy per ounce
