Alex had 36 ounces of jelly beans. He ate 6 ounces. Then he divided the rest equally into 3 piles. How much does each pile weigh?
How many ounces did Alex eat? ** Start by taking out the ones he ate: 36 ounces - 6 ounces = <<36-6=30>>30 ounces.
How many ounces are in each pile? ** Divide the remainder equally: 30 ounces / 3 piles = <<30/3=10>>10 ounces per pile.
