Question

A 2-pint bottle of bleach costs $1.60. What is the price per fluid ounce?

$

Answer 1

To find the price per fluid ounce of a 2-pint bottle of bleach that costs $1.60, we first need to convert pints into fluid ounces.

1 pint = 16 fluid ounces

Therefore, for a 2-pint bottle:
\[
2 \, \text{pints} = 2 \times 16 \, \text{fluid ounces} = 32 \, \text{fluid ounces}
\]

Next, we can calculate the price per fluid ounce:
\[
\text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{\text{Total price}}{\text{Total fluid ounces}} = \frac{1.60}{32}
\]

Calculating that gives:
\[
\frac{1.60}{32} = 0.05
\]

So, the price per fluid ounce is **$0.05**.
