To find out how much you have to pay for 24 ounces of the sandwich spread, you first need to convert ounces to pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound.
So, to convert 24 ounces to pounds:
\[
\text{Pounds} = \frac{24 \text{ ounces}}{16 \text{ ounces per pound}} = 1.5 \text{ pounds}
\]
Next, you can calculate the cost for 1.5 pounds at a rate of $6.40 per pound:
\[
\text{Cost} = 1.5 \text{ pounds} \times \$6.40 \text{ per pound} = \$9.60
\]
Therefore, you will have to pay **$9.60** for 24 ounces of the spread.
