A hose fills a tub at a rate of 4 ounces per minute. How many pints per hour will the hose fill the tub?

Question

16 ounces = 1 pint

60 minutes = 1 hour

Answer 1

To convert ounces to pints, we divide the number of ounces by 16.

4 ounces / 16 = 0.25 pints

To find the pints per hour, we multiply the pints per minute by the number of minutes in an hour.

0.25 pints/minute * 60 minutes/hour = <<0.25*60=15>>15 pints/hour

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