Answer:

80 fluid ounces

Explanation:

The ratio of the bottles is 2/10 or 1/5 reduced. Next, you will make another ratio for ounces and put 16 in the numerator spot and "X" in the denominator spot. the two ratios have to equal each other, so the equation will look like:

1/5 = 16/X

Now, solve!

You can cross multiply and by doing that you get 80=X!
