To find the equivalent rate of 64 ounces per month in terms of pounds per year, follow these steps:

  1. Convert ounces to pounds: There are 16 ounces in a pound. So, to convert 64 ounces to pounds: \[ \text{Pounds} = \frac{64 \text{ ounces}}{16 \text{ ounces/pound}} = 4 \text{ pounds} \]

  2. Convert months to years: There are 12 months in a year. Therefore, to find the yearly rate: \[ \text{Yearly Rate} = 4 \text{ pounds/month} \times 12 \text{ months/year} = 48 \text{ pounds/year} \]

So, the equivalent rate is:

\[ 64 \text{ ounces/month} = 48 \text{ pounds/year} \]
