To convert from pounds per minute to ounces per second, we can follow these steps:
- Convert pounds to ounces: There are 16 ounces in a pound.
- Convert minutes to seconds: There are 60 seconds in a minute.
Starting with the given rate:
\[ 960 \text{ pounds/minute} \]
Step 1: Convert pounds to ounces:
\[ 960 \text{ pounds/minute} \times 16 \text{ ounces/pound} = 15360 \text{ ounces/minute} \]
Step 2: Convert minutes to seconds:
\[ 15360 \text{ ounces/minute} \div 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 256 \text{ ounces/second} \]
Therefore, the equivalent rate is:
\[ 960 \text{ pounds/minute} = 256 \text{ ounces/second} \]
