To find the price per fluid ounce of the 4-quart carton of milk, we first need to convert quarts to fluid ounces.
1 quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces. Therefore, a 4-quart carton contains:
\[
4 \, \text{quarts} \times 32 \, \text{fluid ounces/quart} = 128 \, \text{fluid ounces}
\]
Next, we need to calculate the price per fluid ounce. The total cost of the 4-quart carton of milk is $1.28. Thus, the price per fluid ounce is:
\[
\text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total fluid ounces}} = \frac{1.28}{128}
\]
Now, performing the division:
\[
\frac{1.28}{128} = 0.01
\]
Therefore, the price per fluid ounce is \( \boxed{0.01} \) dollars, or \( 1 \) cent.
