Tom and lana were comparing their halloween candy. tom received 4 times as much candy as lana received. tom then split his candy evenly into 9 piles to eat later. if nancy received 18 ounces of candy, how many ounces of candy would be in tom's piles?

Given that Lana received 18 ounces of candy and Tom received 4 times as much candy as Lana received, then the number of candy Tom received is given by 4(18) = 72.
