The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to compare the weights given in Column A and Column B using the conversion factor between pounds and ounces. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Conversion Factor**: We know that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. This means: \[ 1 \text{ pound} = 16 \text{ ounces} \] 2. **Convert 1,000 Pounds to Ounces**: To compare the weights in Column A and Column B, we need to convert the weight in Column B (1,000 pounds) into ounces. \[ 1,000 \text{ pounds} = 1,000 \times 16 \text{ ounces} \] \[ 1,000 \text{ pounds} = 16,000 \text{ ounces} \] 3. **Compare the Weights**: Now we can compare the two weights: - Column A: Weight of 16,000 ounces of rice - Column B: Weight of 1,000 pounds of coal (which we converted to 16,000 ounces) Since both Column A and Column B are equal to 16,000 ounces, we conclude that: \[ \text{Weight of 16,000 ounces of rice} = \text{Weight of 1,000 pounds of coal} \] 4. **Final Conclusion**: Since both weights are equal, we can conclude that the entries in Column A and Column B are equal. ### Answer: The correct option is **Option 3**, which states that the weights are equal. ---
