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

Answer 1

To find the number of pints per hour the hose will fill the tub, we first need to find the number of ounces per hour.

Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, the hose fills at a rate of 4 ounces/minute x 60 minutes = <<4*60=240>>240 ounces/hour.

Next, we need to convert ounces to pints. There are 16 ounces in 1 pint, so the hose fills at a rate of 240 ounces/hour ÷ 16 ounces/pint = <<240/16=15>>15 pints/hour.

Therefore, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour.
