Question

Will tried to convert 72 ounces/second into pounds/minute. He determined the answer to be 270 lbs/min. Is he correct? If so, what was one correct step? If no, what did he do wrong?

Answer 1

Yes, he is correct. One correct step is that he divided 72 ounces by 16 (16 ounces in a pound) and multiplied it by 60, to make it pound/minute.

72/16=4.5

4.5x60=270
