Answer 1

To convert the rate of 72 pounds per hour into ounces per day, we can use the following conversion factors:

1. There are 16 ounces in a pound.
2. There are 24 hours in a day.

Let's perform the conversion step by step:

1. Convert pounds to ounces: \[ 72 \text{ pounds/hour} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = 1,152 \text{ ounces/hour} \]

2. Convert hours to days: \[ 1,152 \text{ ounces/hour} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} = 27,648 \text{ ounces/day} \]

Therefore, the equivalent rate is: \[ 72 \text{ pounds/hour} = 27,648 \text{ ounces/day} \]
