A hose fills a tub at a rate of 4 ounces per minute. How many pints per hour will the hose fill the tub? 16 ounces = 1 pint 60 minutes = 1 hour
To find the number of pints per hour the hose will fill the tub, we first need to find the number of ounces per hour.
Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, the hose fills at a rate of 4 ounces/minute x 60 minutes = <<4*60=240>>240 ounces/hour.
Next, we need to convert ounces to pints. There are 16 ounces in 1 pint, so the hose fills at a rate of 240 ounces/hour ÷ 16 ounces/pint = <<240/16=15>>15 pints/hour.
Therefore, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour.
To find the number of pints per hour the hose will fill the tub, we need to convert the given rate of 4 ounces per minute into pints per hour.
First, we need to convert ounces to pints. There are 16 ounces in 1 pint, so we can divide the rate (4 ounces per minute) by 16 to get the rate in pints per minute:
4 ounces ÷ 16 ounces/pint = 0.25 pints per minute.
Next, we need to convert minutes to hours. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so we can multiply the rate (0.25 pints per minute) by 60 to get the rate in pints per hour:
0.25 pints/minute × 60 minutes/hour = 15 pints/hour.
Therefore, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour.
To convert ounces to pints, we know that 16 ounces is equal to 1 pint.
So, to find out how many pints the hose will fill in an hour, we need to do the following steps:
Step 1: Determine how many ounces the hose fills in an hour.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, and the hose fills at a rate of 4 ounces per minute, we can multiply the rate by 60 to find the number of ounces in an hour:
4 ounces/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 240 ounces/hour.
Step 2: Convert the number of ounces to pints by dividing by 16.
Since 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces, we can divide the number of ounces by 16 to find how many pints the hose fills in an hour:
240 ounces/hour ÷ 16 ounces/pint = 15 pints/hour.
Therefore, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour.
