Question

A 32 oz bottle of fruit juice costs $6.72.



What is the cost of the juice per ounce?

Answer 1

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.
