To determine how many pints per hour the hose fills the tub, we can follow these steps:
1. Calculate how many ounces the hose fills in one hour:
\[
\text{Ounces per hour} = 4 \text{ ounces/minute} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 240 \text{ ounces/hour}
\]
2. Convert ounces to pints using the conversion factor (16 ounces = 1 pint):
\[
\text{Pints per hour} = \frac{240 \text{ ounces/hour}}{16 \text{ ounces/pint}} = 15 \text{ pints/hour}
\]
Therefore, the hose fills the tub at a rate of **15 pints per hour**.
1. Calculate how many ounces the hose fills in one hour:
\[
\text{Ounces per hour} = 4 \text{ ounces/minute} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 240 \text{ ounces/hour}
