Answer:

4 ounces

Explanation:

she make 8 serve rings with 5 ounces left but she needs 11 more to make 12 servings so in total it’s 16 more ounces of juice to make 12 serverings compared to 8 servings since 11+5=16

We subtract 12 and 8

12-8=4

So it is 16 ounces of juice to make 4 servings and now we divide for each serving

16/4

4 ounces of juice for each serving

Hopes this helps please mark beainliest
