To convert pounds per second to ounces per minute, we can use the following conversion factors:
1 pound = 16 ounces
1 second = \( \frac{1}{60} \) minutes
Now, we'll convert pounds to ounces and seconds to minutes:
-
Convert pounds to ounces: \[ 939 \text{ pounds} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = 15024 \text{ ounces} \]
-
Convert seconds to minutes: Since 1 second is \( \frac{1}{60} \) of a minute, we multiply by 60 to convert from ounces per second to ounces per minute: \[ 15024 \text{ ounces/second} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 901440 \text{ ounces/minute} \]
Therefore, the equivalent rate is: \[ 939 \text{ pounds/second} = 901440 \text{ ounces/minute} \]
