To convert from pounds per hour to ounces per day, we can follow these steps:
-
Convert pounds to ounces: There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. Therefore: \[ 3 \text{ pounds} = 3 \text{ pounds} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = 48 \text{ ounces} \]
-
Convert hours to days: There are 24 hours in a day. Therefore, if we want to find the amount in ounces for a whole day: \[ \text{Ounces per day} = 48 \text{ ounces/hour} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} \] \[ = 48 \times 24 = 1152 \text{ ounces/day} \]
Putting it all together, the equivalent rate is: \[ 3 \text{ pounds/hour} = 1152 \text{ ounces/day} \]
