-pound jar of pickles costs

\$16.00

. What is the price per ounce?

\newline

\$

_____

Convert pounds to ounces: First, we need to determine how many ounces are in $2$ pounds. $\newline$ We know that $1$ pound is equal to $16$ ounces. $\newline$ So, $2$ pounds is equal to $2 \times 16$ ounces. $\newline$ $2 \times 16 = 32$ ounces.
Calculate price per ounce: Next, we calculate the price per ounce by dividing the total cost by the number of ounces. $\newline$ The total cost is $\$16.00$ , and we have $32$ ounces. $\newline$ Price per ounce = Total cost / Number of ounces $\newline$ Price per ounce = $\$16.00 / 32$
Perform division to find price per ounce: Now, we perform the division to find the price per ounce. $\$16.00 / 32 = \$0.50$ per ounce.
