To find the price per fluid ounce, we first need to determine how many fluid ounces are in a 2-pint bottle of water.
1 pint equals 16 fluid ounces, so:
\[
2 \text{ pints} = 2 \times 16 \text{ fluid ounces} = 32 \text{ fluid ounces}
\]
Now, we have a bottle of water that costs $5.44 for 32 fluid ounces. To find the price per fluid ounce, we divide the total cost by the number of fluid ounces:
\[
\text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{5.44}{32}
\]
Calculating that gives:
\[
\frac{5.44}{32} = 0.17
\]
Therefore, the price per fluid ounce is \( \mathbf{0.17} \) dollars, or \( \mathbf{17} \) cents.
