Answer 1

To convert the rate from ounces per minute to pints per hour, follow these steps:

1. **Convert ounces per minute to ounces per hour:**
\[
4 \text{ ounces/minute} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 240 \text{ ounces/hour}
\]

2. **Convert ounces to pints:**
Since 1 pint equals 16 ounces,
\[
\frac{240 \text{ ounces/hour}}{16 \text{ ounces/pint}} = 15 \text{ pints/hour}
\]

Thus, the hose fills the tub at a rate of **15 pints per hour**.

The correct response is:
**15 pints per hour**.
