The answer is 30 ounces. set up an equation with both mail services equal to each other, then move x's to one side, then divide.
I agree with what they said. You first need to set up an equation with what you already have then once you have that then slide your X to one side of the equation and simply divide . Therefore giving you the answer already^ it set's out to be exactly 30 ounces. Or maybe you could get something else, but that's what I got and the other person too.
