How do you convert the rate of 48 ounces per 2 hours to pounds per day?

To convert 48 ounces per 2 hours to pounds per day, first convert ounces to pounds since there are 16 ounces in a pound. Thus, 48 ounces is 3 pounds (48 ÷ 16 = 3). Next, since there are 24 hours in a day and you have a rate for 2 hours, multiply the hourly rate by 12 (24 ÷ 2 = 12). Therefore, the rate is 3 pounds × 12 = 36 pounds per day.
