To find the price per fluid ounce, we first need to convert the volume from pints to fluid ounces.
There are 16 fluid ounces in 1 pint. Therefore, for 2 pints:
\[
2 \text{ pints} \times 16 \text{ fluid ounces/pint} = 32 \text{ fluid ounces}
\]
Next, we take the total cost of the glass cleaner, which is $13.44, and divide it by the number of fluid ounces:
\[
\text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total fluid ounces}} = \frac{13.44}{32}
\]
Now, we perform the division:
\[
\frac{13.44}{32} = 0.42
\]
Thus, the price per fluid ounce of the glass cleaner is **$0.42**.
