=

pounds
minute

Answer 1

To convert the rate of 960 ounces per hour to pounds per minute, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert ounces to pounds: There are 16 ounces in a pound. \[ 960 \text{ ounces} = \frac{960}{16} \text{ pounds} = 60 \text{ pounds} \]

2. Convert hours to minutes: There are 60 minutes in an hour. \[ 1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes} \]

3. Calculate the equivalent rate in pounds per minute: \[ 960 \text{ ounces/hour} = 60 \text{ pounds/hour} = \frac{60 \text{ pounds}}{60 \text{ minutes}} = 1 \text{ pound/minute} \]

So, the equivalent rate is: \[ \boxed{1 \text{ pound per minute}} \]
