To find out how much applesauce each person receives, we need to divide the total amount of applesauce by the number of people sharing it.
Let's denote the total amount of applesauce in ounces as A and the number of people sharing it as N .
Given A = 12 ounces and N = 2 people, we can calculate the amount of applesauce each person receives as:
\frac{A}{N} = \frac{12}{2} = 6
Therefore, each person receives \boxed{6} ounces of applesauce.
\textbf{Answer:} Each person receives 6 ounces of applesauce.
