Convert to find the equivalent rate.

Question

47 pounds / second = _ ounces / minute

Answer 1

To convert from pounds per second to ounces per minute, we can follow these conversion steps:

1. Convert pounds to ounces: $$1\text{ pound}=16\text{ ounces}$$

2. Convert seconds to minutes: $$1\text{ minute}=60\text{ seconds}$$

Now, we can set up the conversion for 47 pounds per second:

1. First, convert pounds to ounces: $$47\text{ pounds/second}\times 16\text{ ounces/pound}=752\text{ ounces/second}$$

2. Next, convert from ounces per second to ounces per minute: $$752\text{ ounces/second}\times 60\text{ seconds/minute}=45120\text{ ounces/minute}$$

Thus, the equivalent rate is: $$\boxed{{\displaystyle 45120}}\text{ ounces/minute}$$
