To find:
The rate in dollars per ounce.
Solution:

1 Dollar per pound = [tex]\dfrac{1}{16}[/tex] dollar per ounce.
1 Dollar per pound = 0.0625 dollar per ounce.
We have, the postal service charges $10.30 per pound on the package shipped to England.
Using the above conversion, we get
$10.30 Dollar per pound = [tex]10.30\times 0.0625 [/tex] dollar per ounce
$10.30 Dollar per pound = [tex]0.64375 [/tex] dollar per ounce
Therefore, the required rate is $0.64375 per ounce.
