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? Give me reasons, before answering the question

Start by taking out the ones he ate: 36 ounces - 6 ounces = 30 ounces. Divide the remainder equally: 30 ounces / 3 piles = 10 ounces per pile. So the final answer is 10.
