Answer: I believe the answer would be 5.1 ounces...

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this answer I used a proportion and transformed pounds into ounces. 1lb=16oz

x/16= 2.55/8

Cross multiply....

8x=40.8

And simplify!

x=5.1

So for $8 you can get a pound, for $2.55 you can get 5.1 ounces (or 5 ounces if needed in whole numbers)

Hope this helps! Good luck! (:
