240 pints per hour
240 pints per hour
1.06 pints per hour
1.06 pints per hour
3,840 pints per hour
3,840 pints per hour
15 pints per hour
To find the answer, we need to convert the rate from ounces per minute to pints per hour.
Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pint and 60 minutes in 1 hour, we can set up a proportion:
4 ounces/1 minute = x pints/1 hour
To find x, we can cross multiply and solve for x:
4 ounces * 1 hour = x pints * 1 minute
4 * 60 = x
x = 240
Therefore, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 240 pints per hour.
To answer this question, let's convert the given rate from ounces per minute to pints per hour.
First, we need to determine the number of ounces filled per hour. Since the hose fills at a rate of 4 ounces per minute, we can multiply this rate by 60 (the number of minutes in an hour) to get the number of ounces filled per hour.
4 ounces/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 240 ounces/hour
Next, we will convert the number of ounces to pints. We know that 16 ounces is equal to 1 pint, so we can divide the number of ounces filled per hour by 16.
240 ounces/hour / 16 ounces/pint = 15 pints/hour
Therefore, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour. So the correct answer is 15 pints per hour.
To convert ounces to pints and minutes to hours, we can use the following conversions:
- 16 ounces = 1 pint
- 60 minutes = 1 hour
Given that the hose fills the tub at a rate of 4 ounces per minute, we can calculate the rate in pints per hour.
First, let's find the rate in pints per minute:
4 ounces / 16 ounces = 0.25 pints per minute
Next, let's convert the rate from minutes to hours:
0.25 pints per minute * 60 minutes = 15 pints per hour
So, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour.
