Answer 2

Answer:  The required price is $0.32.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a gallon of Moo Milk costs $5.12. And there are 128 ounces in 1 gallon.

We are to find the price of an 8 ounce glass of Moo Milk in dollars.

We will be using the UNITARY METHOD to solve.

128 ounces of milk = 1 gallon.

So, 1 ounce of milk  $=\dfrac{1}{128}$ gallon.

Therefore, 8 ounces of milk will be equal to

$\dfrac{1}{128}\times 8=\dfrac{1}{16}~\textup{gallon}.$

Cost of 1 gallon = $5.12.

So, cost of $\dfrac{1}{16}$ gallon is given by

$\dfrac{1}{16}\times 5.12=\ 0.32.$

Thus, the required price is $0.32.
