We are given that 16 ounce will cost $ 4.00.

Cost of 16 ounce of cereal package = $ 4.00
Cost of 1 ounce of cereal package -
(We will divide both sides by 16)
Cost of 16 ounce of cereal package ÷ 16 = $ 4.00 ÷ 16
Cost of 1 ounce of cereal package = $ 0.25.
Thus, the cost of 1 ounce of cereal package = $ 0.25.
