To determine which carton of orange juice offers the better value, we need to compare the price per ounce for each option. Here's how to do it:

1. Calculate the price per ounce for the 32-oz carton:

  [tex]\[ \text{Price per ounce for 32-oz carton} = \frac{\$2.56}{32 \text{ oz}} = \$0.08 \text{ per ounce} \][/tex]

2. Calculate the price per ounce for the 48-oz carton:

  [tex]\[ \text{Price per ounce for 48-oz carton} = \frac{\$3.36}{48 \text{ oz}} = \$0.07 \text{ per ounce} \][/tex]

Comparing the two values:

- The 32-oz carton costs [tex]\$0.08[/tex] per ounce.

- The 48-oz carton costs [tex]\$0.07[/tex] per ounce.

Therefore, the 48-oz carton offers the better value because it has a lower cost per ounce.
