What are pounds?

Pound, unit of avoirdupois weight, equal to 16 ounces, 7,000 grains, or 0.45359237 kg, and of troy and apothecaries' weight, equal to 12 ounces, 5,760 grains, or 0.3732417216 kg. The Roman ancestor of the modern pound, the libra, is the source of the abbreviation lb.

183 is to 14202 as x is to 4

183/14202 = x/4

14202x = 183(4)

x = 183(4)/14202

x = 0.0515 pounds

Hence, option A is correct.
