To find the price per fluid ounce of yogurt, we first need to convert the volume from pints to fluid ounces.
1 pint is equal to 16 fluid ounces. Therefore, a 3-pint carton of yogurt is:
\[
3 \text{ pints} \times 16 \text{ fluid ounces/pint} = 48 \text{ fluid ounces}
\]
Next, we can calculate the price per fluid ounce by dividing the total price of the carton by the total volume in fluid ounces:
\[
\text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{\text{Total price}}{\text{Total fluid ounces}} = \frac{1.44}{48}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{1.44}{48} = 0.03
\]
Therefore, the price per fluid ounce of yogurt is **$0.03**.
