$16 \ "oz"$

Well, let $x$ be the full weight of the box of rice.

We know that he uses $3/4$ of the box to cook rice, and that portion weighs $12 \ "oz"$ . So, our equation is

$3/4x=12 \ "oz"$

$x=4/3 * 12 \ "oz"$

$x=16 \ "oz"$

So, the full weight of that box is $16$ ounces.

See the explanation

Let the total weight of box be x ounce.

So, according to the question

$3/4$ of x is equal to 12 ounce

$" Or "3/4 x = 12$

$-> x = 12 * 4/3$

$-> x = cancel12^4*4/(cancel3)$

$-> x = 4 * 4$

$-> x = "12 ounce"$
