Question

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.
A: 240 pints per hour
B: 1.06 pints per hour
C: 3,840 pints per hour
D: 15 pints per hour

Answer 1

First, we need to convert ounces to pints. Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pint, 4 ounces would be 4/16 = 1/4 pint.
Next, we need to find the number of pints per hour. Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, the hose fills the tub at a rate of (1/4) * 60 = 15 pints per hour.
Therefore, the answer is D: 15 pints per hour.
