Answer 1

The correct answer is 3,840 pints per hour.

Since the hose fills the tub at a rate of 4 ounces per minute, we can calculate the rate in pints per hour:

First, convert 4 ounces to pints:
4 ounces = 4/16 = 0.25 pints

Next, convert 60 minutes to hours:
60 minutes = 60/60 = 1 hour

Now, we can calculate the rate in pints per hour:
0.25 pints/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 15 pints/hour
