Answer 1

Answer:

Price $0.75 per ounce of confetti

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement: Yuki bought a pound of confetti for $12.

⇒$1 pound = \ 12$                 ......[1]

Also, it is given that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

⇒ 16 ounces = 1 pound                       .....[2]

To calculate the price, in dollars per ounce of confetti.

From [1] and [2] we have;

$16 ounces = \ 12$

then;

1 ounces =  $\frac{12}{16} = \frac{3}{4} = \ 0.75$

Therefore, the price, in dollars per ounce of confetti is, $0.75  per ounce.
