Final answer:

The working duration of the SCBA cannot be determined without the breathing rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The working duration of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) can be determined using the formula:

Working Duration = (Cylinder Capacity * Cylinder Pressure) / Breathing Rate

In this case, the SCBA has a capacity of 2400, and a pressure of 160. The breathing rate is not provided in the question, so we cannot calculate the working duration without that information.
