Answer:
The price per ounce is about 6 cents .
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5 pounds costs $2.51
1 ounce cost $ ?
We need to convert the pounds to ounces so we can answer the question.
1 pound = 16 ounces
2.5 pounds = 2.5 *16 = 40 ounces
Substitute the 2.5 pounds by 40 ounces
40 ounces costs $2.51
1 ounce cost $ ?
$? = (1 * 2.51)/ 40 = .06275 ≅.06
1 ounce is $.06 or 6 cents
