    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.

    Now, given that Tom divided his candy evenly into 9 piles. Then the number of ounces of candy in each of Tom's piles is given by:

    72/9 = 8 ounces.
