Convert to find the equivalent rate.

Question

21 pounds
minute
=

ounces
hour

Answer 1

To convert from pounds per minute to ounces per hour, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert pounds to ounces:
   Since there are 16 ounces in a pound: $$21\text{ pounds}=21\times 16\text{ ounces}=336\text{ ounces}$$

2. Convert minutes to hours:
   Since there are 60 minutes in an hour: $$1\text{ minute}=\frac{1}{60}\text{ hours}$$ Thus, for 21 pounds per minute: $$21\text{ pounds per minute}=336\text{ ounces per minute}\times 60\text{ minutes per hour}=336\times 60\text{ ounces per hour}$$

3. Calculate the final value:
   $$336\times 60=20160\text{ ounces per hour}$$

Therefore: $$21\text{ pounds per minute}=20160\text{ ounces per hour}$$
