Answer 1

To convert the rate of 960 ounces per hour to pounds per minute, you can follow these steps:

1. **Convert ounces to pounds**: There are 16 ounces in a pound.
\[
960 \text{ ounces} = \frac{960}{16} \text{ pounds} = 60 \text{ pounds}
\]

2. **Convert hours to minutes**: There are 60 minutes in an hour.
\[
1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes}
\]

3. **Calculate the equivalent rate in pounds per minute**:
\[
960 \text{ ounces/hour} = 60 \text{ pounds/hour} = \frac{60 \text{ pounds}}{60 \text{ minutes}} = 1 \text{ pound/minute}
\]

So, the equivalent rate is:
\[
\boxed{1 \text{ pound per minute}}
\]
