Answer:20 ounce

Explanation

Given

2 parts Grape juice is present in 6 parts of water

Let us suppose Grape part be g and water part be w in the mixture

Also it is given 80 ounce of grape Juice is needed to make

thus

g+w=80

also grape to water ratio is
(2)/(6)


(1)/(3)=(g)/(w)


g=w* (1)/(3)

Substituting values

we get


w(1)/(3)+w=80

w=60 ounce

thus grape is 20 ounce
