To find the price per ounce, we first need to determine how many ounces are in a 2-pound bottle of ketchup.
1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, a 2-pound bottle contains:
\( 2 \, \text{pounds} \times 16 \, \text{ounces/pound} = 32 \, \text{ounces} \).
Now, if the bottle costs $8.00, we can calculate the price per ounce by dividing the total price by the total number of ounces:
\[
\text{Price per ounce} = \frac{\text{Total Price}}{\text{Total Ounces}} = \frac{8.00}{32} = 0.25.
\]
So, the price per ounce is **$0.25**.
1 pound is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, a 2-pound bottle contains:
\( 2 \, \text{pounds} \times 16 \, \text{ounces/pound} = 32 \, \text{ounces} \).
