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: \[ \boxed{45120} \text{ ounces/minute} \]
