What does one foot pound-force per minute represent?

It represents the rate of doing mechanical work equal to one foot-pound-force of work performed each minute, commonly used in legacy imperial units.

Why convert foot pound-force/minute to dekawatt?

Converting to dekawatt provides a metric scale that is more convenient for engineering tasks involving small power outputs from electric motors or devices.

Is dekawatt widely used in all industries?

No, dekawatt is mainly used in specific engineering and laboratory settings; other fields might prefer watts or kilowatts.
