Answer:

ok so the graph tells you 24 seconds by 4 ounces

Explanation:

The point where both lines meet is the point where they are both equal.

The point where both lines meet is (24,4)

Since the x-axis represents seconds the x-coordinate will represent the number of seconds it takes for them to be equal which is 24.

Since the y-axis represents ounces the y-coordinate will represent the number of ounces they have when they are equal which is 4.
