Answer:

1.72973 oz/serving.  Perhaps round to 1.73 oz, although there is only 1 sig fig in "4-pound bag."  But the problem states "exactly."

Step-by-step explanation:

We want oz/serving, so let's convert the pounds of rice to total ounces of rice:

We are told that 16 oz = 1 pound.  Make that a conversion factor:  (16 oz/1 pound)

(4 pounds)*((16 oz/1 pound) = 64 ounces

We are told that 4 pounds (64 ounces) makes 37 servings.  So:

(64 ounces)/(37 servings) = 1.72973 oz/serving
