54.6 ounces because 14,040 divided by 2,700 you will get 3 week and the 21 days so you would do is 21 days divided by 2 because every other day is 10.5 days. So, than 5.2 *10.5 is 54.6.

Answer:

54.6 ounces

Explanation:

14,040/2,700=5.2

3 weeks is 21 days

21 days divided by 2 because every other day is 10.5 days

5.2 times 10.5 is 54.6
