3,840 pints per hour
The correct answer is 15 pints per hour.
To find the number of pints per hour, we need to first find the number of ounces per hour. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, and the hose fills the tub at a rate of 4 ounces per minute, then the hose fills the tub at a rate of 4 ounces x 60 minutes = 240 ounces per hour.
Next, we need to convert ounces to pints. Since 16 ounces = 1 pint, then 240 ounces = 240/16 = 15 pints.
Therefore, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour.
