Answer :

Answer: $0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the conversion rate between pounds and ounces since the question asks about ounces:

1 pound = 16 ounces

Now let's find the price for 7.9 pounds.

7.9 pounds = 16 x 7.9 = 126.4 ounces

Now, let's set up an equation that represents the information presented:

126.4 oz = $17.80

So, we can find the price of one ounce by dividing both sides by 126.4 to find one ounce:

126.4 oz = $17.80

126.4           126.4

1 ounce = $0.14

So, one ounce of asparagus costs $0.14.

Hope this helps!
