The cost of one ounce of soup will be $0.20

Step-by-step explanation

A carton of milk containing 12 cans of soup costs $38.40 and each can weighs 16 ounces.

So, the total weight of 12 cans of soup
=(16*12)ounces=192 ounces

That means, the cost of 192 ounces of soup is $38.40

Thus, the cost of one ounce of soup
=(38.40)/(192)=0.20 dollar.
