Yes, I believe that is because to get the average you divide the sum by the # and the 16 is the conversion correct.

Can anyone give a full explanation instead of just the answers please? The answers are given in the GMAT Prep test, not the explanations.

It's very clear. Not sure why this one even held me up. Think it was one of those long study nights where even the mundane and easy seem like a never ending brick wall that you are trying to climb. Thanks Bunuel. +1 buddy and kudos.

average = s/n
in ounce, the average = (s*16)/n
