To find the price per ounce of the 6-pound bag of white rice, we first need to convert pounds to ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound.
First, calculate the total number of ounces in 6 pounds:
\[
6 \text{ pounds} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = 96 \text{ ounces}
\]
Next, we can determine the price per ounce by dividing the total cost of the bag by the total number of ounces:
\[
\text{Price per ounce} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total ounces}} = \frac{22.08}{96}
\]
Now, calculate the price per ounce:
\[
\frac{22.08}{96} \approx 0.230
\]
Thus, the price per ounce is approximately **$0.230**, or more specifically, **$0.23** when rounded to two decimal places.
