Dehydrated Ethanol Reaction (Calculating Moles)

At intermediate concentrations of H2S04 in the temperature range 140-170 degrees C, ethanol may be dehydrated by two different independent reactions {see attachment}.
Suppose that 30% of the ethanol reacts via reaction (1) and 70% via reaction (2). How many moles of water are produced per mole of original ethanol?
