The correct answer is 15 pints per hour.
To find this, we need to convert the rate from ounces per minute to pints per hour.
First, we convert 4 ounces per minute to pints per minute by dividing by 16 (since 16 ounces equal 1 pint):
4 ounces/minute = 4/16 = 0.25 pints/minute
Next, we convert pints per minute to pints per hour by multiplying by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour):
0.25 pints/minute x 60 minutes/hour = 15 pints/hour.
