Convert to find the equivalent rate.

Question

752 ounces
minute
=

pounds
hour

Answer 1

To convert ounces per minute to pounds per hour, we need to use the following conversion factors:

1. There are 16 ounces in a pound.
2. There are 60 minutes in an hour.

Given:

\[ \frac{752 \text{ ounces}}{\text{minute}} \]

First, convert ounces to pounds:

\[ \frac{752 \text{ ounces}}{1 \text{ minute}} \times \frac{1 \text{ pound}}{16 \text{ ounces}} = \frac{752}{16} \text{ pounds per minute} \]

Now calculate \( \frac{752}{16} \):

\[ \frac{752}{16} = 47 \text{ pounds per minute} \]

Next, convert minutes to hours:

\[ 47 \text{ pounds per minute} \times 60 \text{ minutes} = 2820 \text{ pounds per hour} \]

So, the equivalent rate is:

\[ \frac{752 \text{ ounces}}{\text{minute}} = 2820 \text{ pounds per hour} \]
