To convert pounds to ounces, you can use the fact that 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.
First, let's convert 96 pounds into ounces:
\[ 96 \text{ pounds} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = 1536 \text{ ounces} \]
Next, you want to convert ounces to a monthly rate. Assuming there are 12 months in a year, we can find the monthly amount by dividing the total ounces by the number of months in a year:
\[ \frac{1536 \text{ ounces}}{12 \text{ months}} = 128 \text{ ounces/month} \]
So, 96 pounds per year is equivalent to 128 ounces per month.
