To determine the price per fluid ounce of the orange juice, we first need to convert the volume from cups to fluid ounces. There are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup.
First, we calculate the number of fluid ounces in 6 cups:
\[
6 \text{ cups} \times 8 \text{ fluid ounces per cup} = 48 \text{ fluid ounces}
\]
Next, we divide the total cost of the carton by the number of fluid ounces to find the price per fluid ounce:
\[
\text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total fluid ounces}} = \frac{6.24}{48}
\]
Now, performing the division:
\[
\frac{6.24}{48} = 0.13
\]
Therefore, the price per fluid ounce of the orange juice is **$0.13**.
