1. **State the problem:** We want to find how many ounces of coffee can be bought for 2 dollars if 1 pound costs 10 dollars.
2. **Understand the units:** 1 pound = 16 ounces.
3. **Find the cost per ounce:**
$$\text{Cost per ounce} = \frac{10}{16} = 0.625$$ dollars per ounce.
4. **Set up the equation to find ounces for 2 dollars:**
$$\text{ounces} = \frac{2}{0.625}$$
5. **Calculate:**
$$\text{ounces} = \frac{2}{0.625} = \frac{2}{\cancel{0.625}} \times \frac{\cancel{1}}{1} = 3.2$$ ounces.
6. **Round the answer:** 3.2 ounces (already to the nearest hundredth).
**Final answer:** You can buy 3.2 ounces of coffee for 2 dollars.
