Answer: 1.19 dollars/quart x 1 quart/ 32 ounces = .037 = 3.7 cents per ounce

Explanation:

when you set up the multiplication, since quarts are in the denominator initially and you want to get rid of them, set the quarts in the numerator of the unit rate (1 quart/ 32 ounces) so that the units cancel and you are left with the units that you wanted ($/ounce).
