To find the unit rate of the weight of spaghetti per box, you divide the total weight by the number of boxes.
In this case, the total weight is 168 ounces and the number of boxes is 14.
So, the unit rate can be calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{Total weight in ounces}}{\text{Number of boxes}} = \frac{168 \text{ ounces}}{14 \text{ boxes}} = 12 \text{ ounces per box} \]
Thus, the unit rate is 12 ounces per box.
