To solve the problem you have to first find out how many mg are in 1 ounce of the egg substitute. Let use "x" to represent that number.
We know this:
2x = 45
We then do the math and find the value of x by dividing both sides by 2
2x/2 = 45/2
x = 22.5
Now that we know how many mg are in 1 ounce, we multiple by 3 to get the number of mg in 3 ozs.
3(22.5) = 67.5
So there are 67.5 oz of cholesterol in 3 oz of egg substitute
