answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total fluid ounces

Anna bought 1 quart, and we know from the earlier (or given) that 1 quart is 32 fluid ounces (since 1 quart = 2 pints, 1 pint = 2 cups, 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces: \(2\times2\times8 = 32\) fluid ounces).

Step2: Calculate unit rate

The total cost is $5.76 for 32 fluid ounces. To find the cost per fluid ounce, we divide the total cost by the number of fluid ounces: \(\frac{5.76}{32}\).

Step3: Perform the division

\(5.76\div32 = 0.18\).

Answer:

The unit rate of the cost of the juice per fluid ounce is $0.18.
