Answer: There are 18 ounces of plum tomatoes he used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pounds of grape, roma and plum = 4 pounds

As we know that

1 pound = 16 ounces

So, Number of ounces of grape, roma and plum = \(16\times 4=64\ ounces\)

Number of pounds of grape tomatoes = 2 pounds

Number of ounces of grape tomatoes would be

\(2\times 16=32\ ounces\)

Number of roma tomatoes = 14 ounces

So, total number of ounces of grape and roma tomatoes is given by

\(32+14=46\ ounces\)

so, Number of plum tomatoes would be

\(64-46=18\ ounces\)

Hence, there are 18 ounces of plum tomatoes he used.
