It is 15

No problem at all! I'm here to help. To find the weight of each ball, you need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the weights of the bags.

Step 1: List the factors of each weight
The factors of 15 are: 1, 3, 5, 15
The factors of 30 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
The factors of 60 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

Step 2: Identify the largest number that appears in all three lists
Common factors of 15, 30, and 60 are: 1, 3, 5, 15

Step 3: Determine the weight of each ball
Since the GCF is 15, the weight of each ball is 15 ounces.

Therefore, each ball weighs 15 ounces.
