    DEFINITION

        Mole fraction X is the ratio of moles of one substance in a mixture 
        to the total number of moles of all substances.

NH3 Molecular Weight  17.031

Number of moles in 30 g:   30%2F17.031 = 1.76149.


H2O Molecular Weight  18.01528

Number of moles in 70 g:   70%2F18.01528 = 3.88559.


The mole fraction (the answer to the problem's question) is  1.76149%2F%281.76149%2B3.88559%29 = 0.31193 (rounded).

Solved, answered and explained.

The post-solution note: the given density of the solution 0.982 g/mL is EXCESSIVE, NON-NECESSARY and IRRELEVANT.
