There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. So, in three pounds, there are:
3 pounds * 16 ounces/pound = 48 ounces
Now, we can calculate the price in dollars per ounce:
Price per ounce = Total cost / Number of ounces
Price per ounce = $9.60 / 48 ounces
Price per ounce = $0.20 per ounce
So, the price in dollars per ounce of strawberries is $0.20 per ounce.
