2-quart carton of apple juice costs $5.12. What is the price per fluid ounce?

1 answer

To find the price per fluid ounce of the apple juice, we first need to convert the quantity from quarts to fluid ounces.

1 quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces. Therefore, a 2-quart carton contains:

\[ 2 \text{ quarts} \times 32 \text{ fluid ounces/quart} = 64 \text{ fluid ounces} \]

Next, we divide the total cost of the carton by the total fluid ounces to find the price per fluid ounce:

\[ \text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Fluid Ounces}} = \frac{5.12}{64} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \frac{5.12}{64} = 0.08 \]

Thus, the price per fluid ounce is $0.08.
