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
(1 point)
15 pints per hour
1.06 pints per hour
240 pints per hour
O 3,840 pints per hour
To find the pints per hour, we need to first convert the rate from ounces per minute to pints per hour.
There are 16 ounces in 1 pint, so if the hose fills at a rate of 4 ounces per minute, it fills at a rate of 4/16 = 1/4 pint per minute.
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so the hose fills at a rate of (1/4) x 60 = 15 pints per hour.
Therefore, the hose fills the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour. (1 point)
