A 32 oz bottle of fruit juice costs $6.72. What is the cost of the juice per ounce?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Divide each part by 32 to get your unit cost

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The reason you're picking 32 is because you want 32/32 = 1

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You are looking for a rate. To find a rate you need to divide. Do you divide 32 oz by $6.72 or do you divide $6.72 by 32 oz? Since you want the rate of dollars per ounce, you need to divide the dollar amount by the ounce amount. Dollars per ounce means dollars divided by ounce. That means you need to divide $6.72 by 32 oz.
