To find out how much each cookie weighs, we need to divide the total weight of the cookies (4 ounces) by the number of cookies in the package (8 cookies).

Weight of each cookie = Total weight of cookies / Number of cookies

Weight of each cookie = 4 ounces / 8 cookies

Weight of each cookie = 0.5 ounces

Answer:

Each cookie weighs 0.5 ounces.
