To find the answer, we need to convert the rate from ounces per minute to pints per hour.
Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pint and 60 minutes in 1 hour, we can set up a proportion:
4 ounces/1 minute = x pints/1 hour
To find x, we can cross multiply and solve for x:
4 ounces * 1 hour = x pints * 1 minute
4 * 60 = x
x = 240
Therefore, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 240 pints per hour.
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
