A 2-pint bottle of bleach costs $1.60. What is the price per fluid ounce?

Question

$

Answer 1

To find the price per fluid ounce of a 2-pint bottle of bleach that costs $1.60, we first need to convert pints into fluid ounces.

1 pint = 16 fluid ounces

Therefore, for a 2-pint bottle: \[ 2 , \text{pints} = 2 \times 16 , \text{fluid ounces} = 32 , \text{fluid ounces} \]

Next, we can calculate the price per fluid ounce: \[ \text{Price per fluid ounce} = \frac{\text{Total price}}{\text{Total fluid ounces}} = \frac{1.60}{32} \]

Calculating that gives: \[ \frac{1.60}{32} = 0.05 \]

So, the price per fluid ounce is $0.05.
