To find out how many pints per hour the hose fills the tub, we can follow these steps:
-
Determine the number of ounces filled in one hour: \[ \text{Rate} = 4 \text{ ounces per minute} \] \[ \text{Minutes in an hour} = 60 \] So, the total ounces filled in one hour is: \[ 4 \text{ ounces/min} \times 60 \text{ min} = 240 \text{ ounces} \]
-
Convert ounces to pints: Since 1 pint = 16 ounces, we can find the number of pints: \[ \text{Pints} = \frac{240 \text{ ounces}}{16 \text{ ounces/pint}} = 15 \text{ pints} \]
Therefore, the hose fills the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour.
The correct response is: 15 pints per hour.
