Question

A 2-quart carton of apple juice costs $1.92. What is the price per fluid ounce?

$

Answer 1

To find the price per fluid ounce of the apple juice, we first need to convert the volume from quarts to fluid ounces.

1 quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces. Therefore, a 2-quart carton is:

\[
2 \text{ quarts} \times 32 \text{ fluid ounces/quart} = 64 \text{ fluid ounces}
\]

Next, we divide the total cost of the carton by the total volume in fluid ounces to find the price per fluid ounce:

\[
\text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total fluid ounces}} = \frac{1.92}{64}
\]

Now, we carry out the division:

\[
\frac{1.92}{64} = 0.03
\]

Thus, the price per fluid ounce of apple juice is:

\[
\boxed{0.03}
\]
