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
