Answer:

  • It would require $0.23 to buy 1 ounce of crackers.

Explanation:

Let's first write the equation.

  • $2.89 = 12.4 ounces

Divide to find the "per ounce".

  • => 2.89/12.4 = 1 ounces

Solve.

  • => $0.23 = 1 ounces

Hence, it would require $0.23 to buy 1 ounce of crackers.

Hoped this helped.
